Guest guest Report post Posted October 16, 2001 HELLO i DONT GET FOOD STAMPS EITHER, AND HAVE INSURANCE. JUST TRY IT, AND THEY ONLY SAY YES OR NO. i DIDN'T THINK i WOULD GET IT EITHER,CAUSE I HAVE 3 SMALL BUSINESSES, BUT THEY GAVE IT TO ME ANYWAY. YOU WONT KNOW TILL YOU TRY, AND BESIDES, THIS A PRIVATE CO. SO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GOVT. GOOD LUCK , AND GIVE IT A TRY MARTINE Re: Meds Claudine, yep I think was 2.5 or somewhere around there up to 3.4. I do not want to go in because I don't want to have to see Ms Bottle Blonde/Permanted, Frizzy, curly haired ugly person by the way, she called the Hospital. Just because I do not get food stamps I do not qualify for any help, and it sucks. Not Qualify for food stamps too. Where do they think, I can come up with any money. By the time the Bankruptcy is paid and Rent. that is $825, What about Elec, Eood,Scripts. Diabetic stuff, that I am doing without now. I have lowered myself even to ask, and then they think they are better than us don't they know that they aren't? I get $158.32, too much, a month, how in the hell am I suppose to cram in all that, to $1058.32. Sorry, I am, I don't know what feeling would describe what I am.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 16, 2001 Hi e where you been? Thanks on the med thing but Scherings Comitment to care sends it to me at no charge. I have tried foodstamps 4 times, no 5, if you count FL I was basically told to Lie (by one of their people), well I am bot a good liar. Even called the lady in admissions, that I had lied to her. It ate at me all weekend, 8am Monday morning I called to tell her. I will try for the foodstamps. I have heard that on you initail try for SS if you go down there they will give Food Stamps, but not on appeals. It was ridiculous they always find something Car too much money ignored the bankruptcy medical bills prescriptions Etc.....................

Guest guest Report post Posted October 16, 2001 Rant all you want! I can't believe some of these things, but I know they are true. Just to step up on the ranting page. My daughter is now separated from her husband and of course he doesn't give her any monetary help, and definitely no fatherly help for the 2 boys. Reminds me of when I was a divorced Mom of 2, and due to sporadic overtime, I made too much money over their allotment to get free the kids help with breakfast and lunches, or even food stamps or WIC, etc. I ended up having to work another part time job just to make more money to feed my own kids. No that has nothin to do with hep c... but if I hadn't found and married this wonderful man I'm married to now, I think I'd be in a looney bin right now. Just as we married, I was starting to feel the hep c effects - tiredness, irritability, couldn't concentrate (nite school full time, work day full time), you name it. It was as if God gave him to me at the right time. I quit school (thank Gawd, calculus was fun but tedious), reduced my work hours (back to 40 a week haha) all that rot. And I found out my hep c interview was in Monday's paper and I didn't know it!!!! A lady called me from the support group and 3 people emailed me they read it and I have yet to see it myself!!! I'm so upset! I wish they had told me. I have no idea how it came out (( I'll let yall know when I know more. Just venting myself! airy alley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted October 16, 2001 Actually they aren't that unusual. There were several months last year and the year before that neither my husband nor I was working, didn't have unemployment, no insurance and we didn't qualify for squat cuz we made too much money in the previous months. I get stories like that all the time in the chatroom, not qualifying for aid for treatment or even too broke to see a doctor and get the right tests done. Good luck. alley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
