Low Income Health Options

Affordable Health Care, When? 

While we are all waiting to see if the Affordable Care Act will finally come to a state near us, and do us any good, lots of people are having trouble affording medical care right now! What do you do when you need to see a doctor, by a prescription, or visit the dentist and you need help with medical bills?

BestRateUS has a good summary on things to do if you cannot afford health insurance. This covers things you can do before the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented. They include a variety of private and public assistance programs, and also exactly where to find them. This includes :

  • Handy ZIP code search for low cost medical clinics
  • Public Medical plans for adults and kids
  • Private organizations with money for specific health conditions 
  • High risk medical plans from states and the federal government
If you are still confused about the changes that are supposed to happen by 2014, join the line! However, you can stay updated about the Affordable Care Act at HealthCare.gov

The important thing is to get the care that you need as soon as possible.
