Uninsured in pain [View all]
I woke this morning with a sharp pain in my side and decided I better get it checked out. After about two hours of searching and calling I found zero places that could help me with the amount of money I have. I did set up a appointment with a financial person to get approved for a clinic but that wont be until the Feb 11th and after i'm approved I have to Wait two to three months to make an appointment with a doctor. It's disturbing to say the least. So I sit here in pain waiting for some appointment that is months away. I have checked insurance prices just in case. Is there something that that iv missed that says a deductible has to be 10,000 because that's almost all I see.
I cant wait for the Affordable health care act to go into full effect. I don't know what to do as I don't want to go to the er unless its unbearable pain. This is a horrid feeling knowing that there are thousands that could be helping me but insurance and money gets in the way. I'm sad now and kinda feel worthless.
I figured maybe the smart people at DU could give some advice.
peace.
