These programs are offered by the state that you live in.  Since you did not indicate your state, you can visit the link below, which takes you to the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services. \n\nIn section 1 click on your state, and in section 2 click on "State Medical Assistance Office," leaving the rest of the sections blank. This will display the Medicaid office for your state, which should be able to advise you on all available health insurance programs and eligibility requirements (including Medicaid and/or CHIP).

go to your DSHS office. Everystate has one i beleive. if you qualify, only broke ppl do, so you must have little to no income, then you get very very limited help. otherwise you need some health insurance or a job with insurance benefits.

If you have a low income, many counties offer free health insurance with proof of income.  Usally a few dollars for office visits, one or two for prescriptions.  Check local county/state office and see if you qualify.

Go to your state website and look for the social service link. That should give you the info you need.

Funny thing is, I am a LEGAL resident and I can't go to a doctor because I don't have health insurance, and not even once it crosses my mind going to the ER to get primary care. I pay my taxes and do everything by the book, and as a legal resident I cannot (and don't want anyways) use any kind of welfare until I have been working here for 10 years (that's my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong) but the illegals always find a way to misuse the system. Do you know how many families "recycle" insurance cards to fraudulently get medical care because in one family they have 5 "Maria Perez"'s? Sorry, that's illegal and it puts a huge strain on the medical system. And of course those living of of welfare...So I don't think they should use the hospitals to survive, the HC system is already falling apart! I will not deny them of medical care but I don't think it's right. What needs to be done is to fix the problem at the root, and not just use "quick fixes".

most definitly you should be able to!  Start with Social Security.  Not only can they at least give you a start in applying for benefits for her and yourself (since you are primary care giver) but they can tell you where you can go to get other help.  United way is always a great start, they are a great clearing house of resources.  ARC is another (Association of Retarded Citizens), they can help with alot of things.  So can your local association for the mentally ill.  These are just starting points.  Look in your phone book, there are always listings for places that can help or point you in the right direction.

Yes...CHIP is considered public assistance.  But if will not count against you.  There is no monetary gain.

I see your frustration .  I too worked with those who needed benefits for health care. You meet many good poor people who need help and when you can help it doesn't matter what race they are. But our programs are geared more to foreigners (they are alone from family here, lack education, need help) than Our Own--who do suffer and can not use programs because they don't qualify. Its a point system and foreigners get some just because we allow minorities extra points (which has merit). I agree those here are the overlooked and I do feel they should be first. What Mother doesn't protect her own?

Yes.  However, you may find that many states have a program for medical assistance to poor families which goes by a different name than "medicaid".  You should call your state department of health and human services to check.

its a card that the state gives you. you can only use it on food and nothing else - and u get a certain amount every month. wal mart takes the food stamp card. and whatever u dont spend that month will roll over to the next month. it helps if u have kids. and the more kids you have then the more money the government puts on ur food stamp card - its basically for low income families only.

I'm not sure if there are specific plans for people of Cuban Heritage but Free Health Care is available for children from families who meet financial guidelines.

It is SSI (Social security insurance) unless it is a foster youth.  They can also get welfare assistance if they are impoverished and food stamps.  They can also get support from the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation.
