*Medicaid/Health Care Question!*?

Im 18, almost 19 and im independent and taking care of myself. Im moving out into an apartment, i go to college full-time, and i work 2 jobs. I pay my own everything. I really need health care and i was wondering if i would qualify for Medicaid or something? I dont have enough money to pay for a plan. Would I qualify since my income is so low and im a student and all? Oh and im single, unmarried. No children. ???

Your version of low income and the government's may be two different things. This is where you can start to check:

Remember you should check with your state.
Besides that, some states have stuff for low income who make too much for Medicaid.

As a student, you SHOULD have student health insurance available. Your student government office should have that info available for you--and no, it doesn't mean you have to use the school's facilities (if they have any).

If you can't get anything any of those ways, try looking at
ehealthinsurance.com
and I'd suggest you look at HSAs to save some money for yourself.

There SHOULD be some kind of reasonable care available for you for small matters (upper respiratory infections, sprains, etc.). Try Wal-Mart, CVS, other drug stores, and even grocery stores in your area for walk-in clinics, some of which also take insurance should you get a policy.

There may be clinics, such as from a med school or nursing program as well.

Many grocery stores will have a real lab come in once a month for a wide variety of blood work for a very good price.

Many doctors will also see you for a good price reduction if you pay in cash at the time of service (about 30% off would be a good guess).

You might also want to look at the cost of a short-term (can be a year) health policy with State Farm or wherever you get your car insurance.

Lots of potential options, so definitely look and get the needed coverage and care.

Good luck.

With low income you would qualify.
