Copays and percriptions
I never though id have to do this but here goes...
I need money to pay my Dr's Co-pays and Prescriptions.
I'm filing for SSI and without seeing doctors and shrinks i dont have a very good chance of getting it.
I have spinal stanosis, Degenerative Disks and herniated disks in my neck and back and that's what i do know so far.
I have a Ankle that needed surgery over 15 yrs ago and never got it so it constantly goes out on me and forces me to walk with a cane when i can walk
which is getting harder and harder day by day
I also have Hypothyroidism, Chronic pain,Asthma, and suffer from Panic attacks and Depression.
I cant handle being in public places without panic issues
I live with a girlfriend of over 17 yrs who is disabled and i helped her raised her 2 kids
so her income cant help me with any of my heath needs she pays all the house bills.
Now I'm not able to work or receive Medicaid or any other assistance all i have is CICP.
my copays run like $5-7-9 dollars and i use walmart pharm. so my meds run $4-10 dollars
Now the Drs and Counselors are refusing to see me till i catch up on copays im behind almost $200 and all i can do is sit home and deal with the pain and calls
from the bill collectors not getting it that i have no money... i dont even receive food stamps i get my share of food from food banks.
If you know a way i can get the help please let me know. and please dont send me hate mail remember karma..
Uncle Sam
Sigh....
I can't believe it has come to this. I am begging because Uncle Sam just sent me a tax lien for $13,779.63. I screwed up when I lost my job and took out my measly 401k to live. For those of you reading this, don't EVER take out your 401k, even though the market sucks. Take a loan...get taxed twice on your own cash.
So, Uncle Sam is going to take 70% of my paycheck until the lien is paid. Looks like I'm joining the poverty level even with a job...
Thanks Uncle Sam.
Alone
I have come to the conclusion that there is no way i can pay for the medical bills i have or the food i need. I broke my collar bone a few months ago and could not work. My boss decided to fire me and i could not pay for my debt. The banks have taken a number of belongings from me that i cherished. I am alone in a big city and need some help with getting some of this fire i call debt extinguished. Anything will help. God Bless.
