Yes! The government has proven that it can't run ANYTHING efficiently such as Medicare, the USPS and Amtrak. Most politicians are former lawyers. High malpractice insurance drives up costs because of frivolous lawsuits. Lawyers are the main problem with government, insurance companies, and health care. Wherever a lawyer is involved there is corruption.

Contact your local Social Services. You may not qualify but they might have information regarding programs available. Also, check and see if there are any free clinics in your area. You may have to find them in larger cities but if you have a computer you should be able to locate them. Your infant might be eligible for the S-CHIP program. As for your medical problems, sometimes there are programs available for women in your financial difficulties. If there are any teaching hospitals close by they frequently have programs available for low income people. I was able to get a mammogram through a women's program when I had no health insurance. Ask around. Sometimes local churches have help available. Catholic charities is one. You don't have to be Catholic to get help. Also, call your local state representative or senator. Their offices might have access to programs to help and let them know that you support health care reform.

Good luck. You're one of the prime examples as to why we need a national health care program.

I had this happen once and I did some investigating and found this particular medical office was so poorly managed they were several years behind in filing claims. When they found mine, I no longer had that same insurance ( which would have paid 100%) . They tried to collect from me, but I told the office manager that I was not responsible for them not being capable of doing their job and would not pay. Never heard from them again.

Anywhere from 0% to 100%. Or anywhere in between.

It's really going to depend on what you can afford.

It's pretty reasonable to say, ok, I can pay $150 a month towards your health insurance.

Since you are healthy you could look into getting a short term medical policy. These policies don't have all the bells and whistles of a permanent policy but will cover you for catastrophic illness and accidents. The premium is much less than a permanent policy. Visit a local agent that works with all the major companies in your area for help finding a plan and for an explanation of the benefits and exclusions of a short term plan.
