I have a niece that is perfectly capable of working but don't, gets a support check, and unemployment benefits. Her children live with her mother. My husband and I live on 1 check a month and I have no health insurance because we just plain cannot afford it for me. I am 58 and my husband is 64. I would like someone to give me free health insurance too!! What about us older folks getting help istead of the "lazy" young ones? I am all for helping those that actually need it.

I am a 19 year old working college student. I dont make that much and I have been having financial issues for a while now because I live with my boyfriend who just got a new job after being unemployed for 6 months. I was on my mothers insurance up until about a month ago because her insurance rates went up so high she can only afford to keep herself insured. I really dont think I can afford to pay for anything else and someone I worked with suggested medicaid I was trying to find some way to get some form of insurance.

Because it took too long I now suffer permenant nerve damage because of the wait. So yes, the medical and legal communities let me down as my house was foreclosed upon and I now live in a 2 room apartment (far cry from 1500 sq. ft. 3 bedroom home). Yeah, I love this country too. why does it take 4 months for my husband to get medicaid when he is termonialy ill and with hospice this has been a hardship for him and myself cause i am taking care of him my self.we applied back in march 2007 and we still dont know nothing

My husband makes pretty good income however he has a $250.00.00 in student loan which he pays every month. After tax, after paying all the necessary bills like water , car insurance, etc. we have about $2,000.00 dollar left to eat and pay miscellaneous bills for family of six. We have a health insurance through his work but with $5,000 deductible. To buy other insurance, for our family it will cost $1,800 a month. Is there any way I can enroll my children in Hoosier Health Wise insurance? Thank you for your response. I have a 13 year old who was dignosed with thyroid disease.

Is there a need to furnish SSNs in the medicaid application of all family members of the applicant if they are not availing of any programs? Only the applicant is availing of "Health Coverage".

I see that she can apply for Medicaid as she has no income. But, the application asks for SSNs and DOB of family members (my wife, children and myself) in her Medicaid application. Will this infomation go in Public records? I don't mind my mom's. But, I don't want mine or my family's going into public records. Thanks...
