I need medical insurance,HELP ME ILLINOIS?
Oct 11, 2007 by Derek C | Posted in Other - General Health Care
Hi,
I'm a 23 year old obese African American man, with a family history of heart disease and stroke. I have been having strange symptoms and have been to the emergency room several times at several hospitals since late august. I live in Chicago Illinois and have no children and I work a commission only job.I'm in desperate need of some good health care. I need a Primary care physician that actually cares what happens to me, i don't have insurance so that is hard to come by.i can't qualify for public aid health care because not disabled and no kids.
I really need to get looked at because my father died of a heart attack and I don't want to follow suite. I am trying to lose weight. But i keep getting the brush off by doctors because I have no insurance and can't really afford it right now. Not to mention insurance companies don't like fat people. Can anyone point me toward resources that would help me get the health care that I need. I don't want to die young and I'm quite afraid
Watch the video on MySimpleCard. Sounds like that is
exactly what you need to stop worrying.

Financial Assistance and Other Resources for People With Cancer:Cancer imposes heavy economic burdens on both patients and their families. For many people, a portion of medical expenses is paid by their health insurance plan. For individuals who do not have health insurance or who need financial assistance to cover health care costs, resources are available, including Government-sponsored programs and services supported by nonprofit organizations. Cancer patients and their families should discuss any concerns they may have about health care costs with their physician, medical social worker, or the business office of their hospital or clinic.
This is about FREE hospitalization, if you need it and they WILL help you!

In 1946, Congress passed a law that gave hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities grants and loans for construction and modernization. In return, they agreed to provide a reasonable volume of services to persons unable to pay and to make their services available to all persons residing in the facility’s area. The program stopped providing funds in 1997, but about 300 health care facilities nationwide are still obligated to provide free or reduced-cost care.

Unemployed? 4 Ways to Avoid COBRA's Bite - U.S. News & World Report
10.01.09
A report released today spells out in hard numbers what we all already intuitively knew: There's no way most laid-off workers can afford to hang on to their employer's health insurance on the strength of their weekly unemployment checks. The math just doesn't add up. According to the Families USA report, the average monthly premium for family health coverage under COBRA, the federal law that allows laid-off workers to continue with their former employer's health insurance, is $1,069. The average unemployment benefit, meanwhile, is $1,278 a month. That means that COBRA family coverage eats up 84 percent of a worker's unemployment check, on average. Single workers are somewhat better off: The bite for COBRA coverage is "only" 30 percent of their check. Either way, it's easy to understand why only about a quarter of those who are eligible for COBRA coverage take it. In a handful of states, the average COBRA premium for health coverage actually exceeded the average unemployment insurance benefit, according to the report. "Conceptually, it's not so surprising," says Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA. "But seeing the numbers compiled together, it's much starker than most thought."
