Why can't I get healthcare for my mother?

You would have to have your mother declared a dependant in order to access health care insurance.  I don't know what country that you live in but in the USA there is medacaid and if you live in Canada all her services would be covered anyway.

I don't think so.  She can contact social services in her county and see if there is some sort of medical assistance she can apply for.\n\nThanks be to the Republicans in the USA who did not want go socialize medicine in the US.  Now no one can afford treatments or insurance

i am a SC resident and i have insurance through SC medicaid  i fall into a low income bracket and cannot afford private medical insurance(PMI)  if you cannot afford PMI you can apply for state or federal medicaid and medicare programs at your local department of health and human services, department of health and environmental control, or department of social services for your county.   if you are unable to contact them in person many have websites or will even arrange transportaion for those without a ride.   they often have handicap accessible transportion as well.   feel free to put me on your watch list if you need help with a south carolina facility

Here are the rules for pre-existing conditions:\n\nIf your MIL gets a job that provides health insurance with her employment, they will cover her pre-existing conditions ONLY if she had health insurance coverage and can prove it within the previous 60 days prior to employment.  If she didn't have insurance cover prior to that employment, her pre-existing conditions will probably not be covered for approximately 12 months.   This is the law.  It's called the HIPPA law.  That law covers other areas including protecting confidentiality of her medical records.\n\nNow, if you MIL in unemployed and plans to stay that way and can't be covered by a spouse's insurance, she may be forced to seek out public assistance for insurance.\n\nA person who is unemployed in the United States who has an existing health problem has a very tough time getting health care in this country.\n\nNot to bring politics into the question, but Democrats want to make health care universal for everyone whether they work or not or whether they have health conditions or not.    You can make your voice count today by voting for a Democrat.  They can help your MIL.\n\nWe are the richest nation in the whole world, but we don't provide health care for our weakest population.  What does that say about out country?!\n\nGood Luck!\nSincerely,\nRobin_in_Tennessee

Take the bus and go to the emergency room if you can't go and see your physician.  Things like this can get REALLY bad if you don't go and see a doctor.  I don't condone ignoring your mother's wishes, but in this case: SCREW IT! GO AND SEE THE DOCTOR!!!!

Schitzophrenia?  Sounds more like there's a mental disorder going on.  It's not uncommon for this to surface in later years even if there's been no prior history.....  If there's no drug or alcohol involvement I would seriously put in a call to her physician first thing tomorrow morning.\n\nI'll keep you in my prayers.  What a tough thing to have to do!  You ARE doing the right thing though. Just remember your mother is not in a state of mind to recognize that but one day she'll appreciate it. The life she's living and experiencing right now can't be a happy one and she may not realize she needs help.  Her quality of life will improve once she gets help and they can find out what's going on.

Tell her that there are over 100 alternative cures for cancer, which her doctor is not allowed to talk about, even if he knows about them.\nThen do some research, find the right one for your mother, and help her to get the cure that she deserves.\n\nYou can start your research on my web page at\n\nCancer\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer.html

depends what state you live in.. in Alabama, the only way for an adult female to receive medicaid is for family planning.. such as yearly pap smears and birth control..

There are laws that govern your privacy. The law is called HIPPA. Unless you have signed a legal document giving your mother or some other person access to your health care information, your doctor would be breaking the law by discussing your health issues with your mom.

not sure if this is the right answer, but if you go under social security disability eligebillty., it has information about the one being care for is able to recieve under social security. There is all kinds of ways and reasons for elegibility that is never mention anyway until you start digging.  For instance, My mother needs 24hr care after 2 strokes.  We have her at home, she is blind and can't walk at 85years old.  She's entitled because she has diabetes,and had it most of her life.  But it too much for me to explain, look it up and you'll be wonderfully surprised I'm sure.

You probably don’t fulfill the age requirement in your state for Medicaid, especially if you are a dependent and your parents have their own health insurance. Here are few ideas (links are in Sources section):\n\n1.Check again with your college. Even if they don’t have a student health plan for all full-time students (and they really should), they should be able to point you in a good direction.\n2.Your parents: If you can’t afford $65 a month for health insurance, ask your folks. Insurance companies are targeting people in your situation with plans with low monthly premiums, high deductibles. Tonik, by Blue Cross Blue Shield, for example, has rates typically lower than $100 a month with several doctor visits a year, vision, and dental coverage.\n3.Medicaid: Like I said, you probably don’t qualify, but you can check it out by calling your state Medicaid office.\n4.Call your state insurance department. They might have state-sponsored insurance for residents. Again, unless you are already disabled or severely ill, you may not qualify.\n5.Local state-licensed health insurance agents. They’ve helped people like you before and should be able to quickly tell you what to expect from getting insurance on your own (link below).\n\nGood luck. Hope this helps.\nBarnes@MostChoice

Hmmmm...  this could be a little tricky with out insurance....BUT...  there could be ways on working around that..   there are free hospitals (if living in the states) suggestion is to try one of them.....  the wait maybe insanely long but you would not need the insurance.....  just bring a very good and long book to read..  also you can try to contact any hospitals administrator and let them know you need medical attention but can not afford it..   ask if they can help..  some times they have programs to help people without insurance..  really ask about this one..   they even might be able to work out some kind of payment plan or they just might pick up the tab altogether..  in any situation for just about anything sometimes the easiest thing to do is to ask for help...   someone somewhere will always help..  if you can not find help in your area...  look elsewhere..  but keep trying..  take care..

I found two websites that may be of some help to you or possibly lead you in the right direction.Patient Advocate Foundation\nwww.patientadvocate.org\nOr call: 800.532.5274\n*Provides education, legal counseling, and referrals concerning financial issues.\nCancerCare\nwww.cancercare.org\nOr call: 800.813.4673\nProvides financial assistance and referrals.\n\nPlease let me know if these do not get you help. My mother passed away in Sept from breast cancer. She waited too long to get treated and had insurance. Go figure....I wish I could help financially, but cannot. I will do whatever to help you find resources. Good luck.

well, you can go to a local clinic. you can call the hospital and they may have a clinic there. If you apply for medicaid ,which you may be able to do right at the clinic or your local social services department, you can have full coverage and get you necessary checkups. You took the first important step-asking.
