I have a friend who suddenly dosn't have any health insurance and her meds for psych and other stuff is over


Question:
$600. She just got back on disability so she's ok now. BUT this idiot of a therapist told her that if she can't afford them that she should go to eastern meds.ya know, herbs, blah, blah, blah..and now she says she doesn't feel well.Well DUH! They aren't regulated by the FDA..that's why they aren't OTC. But she just doesn't *GET It." Her hubby made too much money (self employed and makes the buchs ya know?) than to be approved for free or low cost meds. It's ***** ***** ***** with her..she's never happy about anything and she is a full blown hyophondriac. No lie..It's really sickening.Any words of advice would be of big help..I've known her for around 14 years and she is not about to change now but how about something for ME to cope with HER? That would be a big help. I'd appreciate any help. No sarcasm please!! Thanks much.

Answers:
As several of the posters have noted, if her husband makes enough money, why can’t be covered under a private insurance plan? Having to spend her and her husband’s own money for health care might help cure her hypochondria. A good site for discount drug programs and support for specific illnesses is Needy Meds (link below). I also like Mood Garden (link below), which is a community site for people suffering from depression and bipolar disorder. Also, the National Alliance for Mental Illness (link below) has chapters in every state and is a wonderful resource for people struggling with mental illness.

As for you, I feel for you having to listen to a close friend constantly complain about illusory problems. When I was down a few years ago, in one of my moments of clarity, I thought it would be funny if my friends carried around a picture of a truly awful event or of someone who had really had a tough life. When I started whining, I thought it would be helpful if they just pressed the photo to my forehead and shut me up. Unfortunately, they were too nice to do that, and their kindness helped me out a lot. Maybe your friend will come around.

If she wants to find out about the local health insurance market, send her to MostChoice.com. It provides quick access to locally licensed health insurance agents who could answer her questions in a few minutes. Even if she doesn’t buy any insurance, at least she would have a good idea of what to expect from private insurance options.

Apply with Medicare or Medicaid. They are there for people just like your friend.

If her husband works and makes too much money, WHY then doesn't she have health insurance?

She sounds just like my MOTHER! Hypochondriac, has every disease known to mankind and others not even invented yet! LOL

What my sister, father & I have done is to IGNORE her when she starts in on her AILMENTS. Changing the subject. Sooner or later SHE gets that we DON'T want to HEAR about her PROBLEMS!!

hullo
every system got its flows,but that is the dark face of imperialism!,anyhow you should seek help from n.g.o ,like the red cross, or church aid.

Dr.solo If he is making so much money then they need to get their own health insurance. It may not cover her preexisting conditions, but will cover any new problems.
