This may be too serious for /adv/, but I don't know what

Go onto your state's health marketplace website and look into your options. There is a lot of assistance out there outside of medicare. Also, Monday I would call whatever number is on the website. I had issues the first time I applied for it when I was turning 26. It said I didn't qualify for anything, but I was just trying too early and ended up on a plan that cost me like 20 a month. Good luck dude it's super frustrating.

How early were you? I've went through the marketplace (which is how I found out that I don't qualify for medicaid) and I can't afford the current insurance options. Should I wait closer towards November and see what happens? The good news, atleast, is that the state I reside in doesn't slap you with a fine for not having insurance until a certain time has passed, so I won't have to worry about that atleast.

I know that there's free clinics with sliding scales, but I don't know anything about that. Honestly, I just need my medication, nothing more.

Looks like the days of wine and roses are over, dude. Time for you to go get a fucking job like everyone else. Some Georgetown bitch needs her free birth control.

Seriously, you're 26 and still don't have an undergrad? What have you done with your life?

I would call to at least ease your mind. It was a few years back, but if I remember correctly I had to do it like late January (I turned 26 in mid february). Up until that time in January, it told me I had to pay like 200+ a month with no assistance.

I'm not looking for a sympathetic ear, but I've been homeless and I'm disabled. Not everyone has access to great opportunities.

That's what I'm going to do. I haven't made a phone call but that's a great suggestion. Thanks man.

Yeah dude no worries, I went through the same freak out.

So you are in college and over the age of 25? Or was it 26 when you get booted off your parent's plan? Either way, it's your fault that you didn't take this into consideration when going. I would spend what time you have left attempting to get a job - any job, with enough hours to give you insurance.

Another alternative is to join up with the armed forces, presuming you can qualify with your health conditions. Yeah, you give up a few years of your life, but then you get on the VA and have insurance the rest of your life.

>I'm disabled
if you're disabled then why were you denied medicare and medicaid

OP's sob story isn't really relevant here (and I appreciate his restraint in not posting it, seriously, I do) but what the fuck kind of post is this? Shitty life circumstances keep plenty of smart, hardworking people from going to college for several years out of high school. You sound like one sheltered motherfucker.

By disabled he probably means he's morbidly obese and so the health companies are noping the fuck out.

more likely "self diagnosed autism"

Problem solved

1. Doublecheck your father's insurance. Most plans cover you until a certain age OR as long as you're a student, whichever is later.

2. Check your college's student health plan, which may cover some of your costs.

3. Get into Obamacare while it's still there.

4. Get a job with a health plan
