Call your local health department and ask them about low income/free clinics to provide you with health care. You probably need some iron from losing alot of blood but you definitely need a doctor. If they don't provide you with any help call a local hospital and ask for their social services department and talk to them about free/low income clinics/doctors. Good luck.

If your family has health insurance, you may be able to get a referral.  Otherwise, call your local County Department of Public Health.  They may be able to refer you to someone who will help on a sliding scale (based on your income).

Try contacting your local medicaid office.  You could also ask if there are any financial assistance programs at the facility where you are receiving your care.  Sometimes hospitals, have state representatives that can screen you for medicaid and other programs.

All the major drug companies in the US offer free or discounted medication for those who are uninsured and cannot afford their prescriptions. Visit www.needymeds.com for more information. It is a free service, and they're pretty good about keeping all the information up-to-date.\n\nAlso, be sure to ask your doctor for free samples, and explain to him that you cannot afford some of your prescriptions. My doctors usually give me a 1-3 month supply at a time.

probabaly not....most free programs are for women over a certain age and have little or no insurance..its varies from state to state...and at 34 you would probably only have one done if your doctor thought there was a reason to.

I dont have any real answers for you.  I live in Illinois and it is the same way.  You might try talking to the doctors and hospital.  Many of them have programs to help those of us with no insurance.  You might also look into state and federal programs for your particilar illness.  Best wishes to you.

Do you work? If so you should purchase some either from work or a private company. If you don't work maybe you could qualify for sate assistance health care, or disability but the best way would be to purchase your own insurance if you can.\nhttps://www.ehealthinsurance.com/ehi/Alliance?allid=Yah26044&sid=tlp\nhttp://www.humana-one.com/default.asp?kc=1005010404&ipsrc=media&reftype=pi&sptype=osmx&cm_mmc_o=QztBBCjCVzbp%20GEgkAlbBECjCZwzkft%20GElAyzEgwCjCZBFw%20VzTw\nhttp://www.insurancequote4you.com/health/

You could go to an emergency room.  They'll bill you or you can go to your local health department.  They can give you free or discounted services. Or you could contact your Department of Social Services.

Good Luck, join the crowd of Americans with no insurance. Thank you Mr. Bush! There are state funded insurance you might qualify for, but they are usually closed to new patients. Or you can go to your city public health department, they can help you out.

Also, if you can't afford to pay for health insurance and your job doesn't offer it, or if they do it costs too much.....then you're in big trouble. I had to go to the emergency room once and I didn't have health insurance...omg it was bad.\n\n2 MRIs and some bloodwork later I was $12,000 in hole. Medical fees are effing insane here!\n\nBut yes, in general you always pay. Usually what it is is you pay a monthly fee for health insurance (averaging around $60 dollars a month) and then if you have to go to the doctor you have to pay a copay, like $20-$40 bucks. Then if you have to have medicine you have to pay the copay for that. Etc. for all medical related things really.\n\nBut someplaces can be free if you can prove your income is low enough. Such as PlannedParenthood. Which covers everything from actual pregnancies to mamograms and STDs.\n\nAnd then for kids if you're low income you can find clinics that'll cover vacinations and things like that.

Try contacting Planned Parenthood; they will give you hundreds for free.

Most local hospitals have assistance for people without insurance or income.  You need to be seen by a medical professional; in order to know what might be going on. There are programs to help you through the state and federal government. (Medicaid).
