从 $0 出发
帮助解决 healthcare.
No coverage, a scary bill, or medicine that costs too much.
今天该做什么
- Community health centers see you NOW, sliding-scale to $0, insured or not.
- Apply for Medicaid any time; job loss is a qualifying moment, and coverage can reach back to recent bills in many states.
- Ask every hospital bill for 'financial assistance'; nonprofit hospitals are required to have a policy.
