So, you say that if you have no insurance and need a transplant, you won't

get one. That would mean, they let you die, because

you do not have insurance???

The answer is

yes! No insurance – no transplant!

we fall under a certain income group. I

applied for medical assistance program and was 100% approved as we are on a low

income.

It sounds like you might

be getting Medicaid. If you do, Medicaid

is a certain “kind” of insurance policy that is given to people

with low incomes. The “clinic”

you refer to, is probably a PublicHe

Health Clinic and they would cover your

health care. But, if you should

need a transplant, that’s going to be a little harder (but not

impossible) to get covered. Most

transplant hospitals don’t like excepting Medicaid because it doesn’t

pay enough to cover all the costs of an operation that expensive. It can be done, but it sure won’t be easy.

You are 100% right –

it’s better to check into what will or won’t be covered now, before

you get sick and need it.
