SAVE all your diagnostic paperwork! I'm not keeping up with the political hullabaloo much, but the healthcare issue is (surprisingly) moving right along.....and even though you are currently being denied as a 'pre-existing condition', if you apply ASAP with your state healthcare aide, there's a chance your denials might get reconsideration.

Here's a recent thread on the healthcare bill being passed

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread117301.html

Not sure how it works in other states, but in my area, by applying for Medicaid, they are notoriously SLOW with the paperwork, but I've seen many cases where, once approved, Medicaid will backdate your coverage for up to a year and re-consider claims for reimbursement.

Not to get your hopes up, but if there's a slight chance, I'd go for it. Don't put it off!
