  • Medicaid/Medicare issues

    Long story but will try to make it short.
    My sister had a heart transplant 3 years ago and never had health care coverage because the issues started while she was in college and she never had a job.
    Since the transplant she has been working multiple part time jobs just to be able to live in crappy apartments with an old beat up truck that barely runs. They have a cap on what she can earn and still qualify for mecicare/medicaid. She just got word from the guvmnt that she made too much money the last 2 years and she owes them $11,000.00 + they expect her to have health care coverage ($485/mo) by the end of the month, and she has no medicaid/medicare. She has to have $10,000.00 worth of medication/mo to live and she is screwed without medicare/medicaid. I am not sure what is going to happen but she is really scared as well as the rest of the family for her.
    I told her to file for citizenship in mexico, become an illegal alien and she can get free health care!

                I aint going to go all political on you here but once you follow Baby Trans advise (very good advice) i beleive you will be surprised as to what you find out as to what, why and how this happened. Prayers to your sister and follow Trans advise and everything should work out.

                    I had a friend who had a very similar situation due to a kidney transplant. Had to work under the table, if he even worked full time at minimum wage we was pooched. In his case the Arizona Kidney Foundation was able to provide a lot of help. I mean a lot! Like free anti rejection drugs a lot. If you haven't I'd look for a similar heart organization. Good luck to you and your sister. It'll be a tough fight but you'll get help.
