Default No Insurance - What Do You Do??

Okay....I don't intend for this to be a "downer" post but I see no other way.

I don't have any health insurance.....first time ever that I've been totally uninsured. I will qualify for Medicare in September of 2010. But what do I do in the meantime? What do others do? I need to research Medicare and see what it covers because I know there is some out of pocket expense for me.

I could not afford COBRA at nearly $700 a month. Luckily my meds are not expensive....but my Neuro wants $185 for an office visit which I cannot see paying.

Just wondering what others here without insurance do.
