My husband does not have health insurance and was diagnosed with diabetes? How can we afford this? Any help?


Is there anyway that he can even obtain health insurance and the insurance company will cover him. We can not afford 300.00 a month on health insurance.

Does he need meds?..Contact the major pharmaceutical companies...they provide those who cannot afford meds with proof of income.
Got to find a job with health insurance.
If it's been less than 90 days since he had health insurance, he's OK. Preexisting conditions will still be covered. He just needs a job with health insurance immediately.

Do not let your health insurance lapse for more than 90 days! Preexisting conditions will not be covered if you do.
I don't want to give you bad news, since this is already a hard situation for you I'm sure. However, most insurance companies consider pre-existing conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, smokers to be high risk to them and either will not insure these people at all or make them pay sky high rates. The best way to be able to get care for him w/o breaking the bank would be for either you or him to get a job w/good health insurance and get him on the plan quickly. It seems absurd the way these things work in America, but that's my best suggestion.
TRY BLUE SHIELD OR U CAN ALWAYS GET MEDICARE.
Often, if you tell the doctors that you don't have health insurance, they'll negotiate prices... They try to milk insurance companies but if you don't have insurance they sometimes will take what they can get.
As for the prescriptions... you should check out government programs like medicare or such.

Unless, of course, one of you can get a job that offers it.
Talk to your Doctor's office. They may be able to get him on a special program or the State may be able to help if your income is low (State Health Insurance) Put this in again under Insurance.
