Disabled Health Insurance?

Question:

I am recently officially approved disabled by SSD and HS. I will now make over the $600 maximum per month from SSD and will be canceled for HS and Medicade and told I must wait two years to be approved by Medicare for Health Inusrance which is I understand and 80/20 plan and I would then need and get a supplemental Health plan to cover the 20% not covered by diability under mMedicare. I am a 53 y/o with diagnosed Progressive MS and am half blind and stumble around with a blind man's white cane. This whole system is a bad joke of government mismanagement I will address politically, however I can not allow family memebers to have to cover my medical costs for two years. Where can I find any reasonable Health coverage with MS as there is none offered in my State of Oregon under $400 a month with deductibles, and what else there is offered for low income has a 1 year waiting line-up of applicants. What a joke of system for the officially handicapped.

Answer:
Have you looked into the MySimpleCard membership?
Sounds like you could use many of the included benefits.
It could be purchased as a supplemental benefit to your
other health insurance, especially if you have a higher
deductible. Also, it could be a standalone plan too.
Be sure to look into their home delivery
program for the prescription drugs, also vision program,
and of course the doctors visits benefit.

I agree, the system is wrong for the handicapped people who live in this country. Have you looked into AFLAC? Or have you checked with your Dr.'s Office or Hospital to see if they have a charity insurance program? I know that the hospital where I live does, and if you can't afford to go to the regular doctor's office, you can go to the walk in clinic because they are attached to the hospital, so you can get the charity assistance. Maybe your area has something like that.

I feel for you. I am also disabled. I am 56 years old and SSI keep[s turning me down. I will try again next month.

It is an insult that we are to live on such a small amount of money. Everyone I know earns extra money on the side.
I am getting medical now, which covers all my medical costs.

Two years is way to long to wait. I just don't understand this.
The poor get poorer and the rich get all they want when they want it.

Maybe you need an attorney that specializes in getthing the medicare sooner.

I am so sorry for your ttoubles. You are not alone
