I just had rotater cuff surgery April 18th. Not thinking anything had it done now I am $22,000.00 in debt. My insurance maxed out at $3,000.00 that was on the MRI. My husband and I make to much to get any kind of help. Any ideas? My credit is going to be more messed up than ever, it looks like bankruptcy is the only. HELP

I went to the ER for a really strong stomach ache and ended up with a $6000 hospital bill, I called them and requested a discount or charity as Im currently not working, and my unemployment check gives me just enough to pay for the rent, I been looking for a job for a while now, but hasnt been able to find one, and now Im stuck with a $6000 bill, and the hospital only offered me a 10% discount if I pay the rest right away, that being completely impossible for me, I really need help, I wouldnt like to get my credit messed up because of a health problem. Can anyone recommed a way to fix this.

I have had been on perscribed opiate pain medication. I am a 33 year old male who has a 10 year old child and a family. I have been taking percocet and ativan for the past year and a half after a car accident that I was in. I have been in to a detox center where they just prescribed me more opiate medication and I am tired of the vicious cycle. I do not believe that I am a addict just a dependent of this devil of a drug. I have contacted the rapid detox center out side of Detroit Michigan and was hoping to go in to this treatment to put a end to this HELL, but am unable to come up with the funding to do so as it is $8700. I want my life back and want to be normal and I am desperate for help.

God Bless

I am disabled on disability. I am not able to bye medical insurance. On disability it takes at least 1 1/2 years before I qualify for heath insurance. I recently had 2 strokes and heart surgery. I am 39 with heart problems. I have never taken drugs. A questioned I was asked several times. I was told that I owe more than 500,000.00. I will also have to have the same heart surgery in 10 years. I am very upset that I will be in debt for the rest of my life.

I unfortunately was uninsured, but financially could not get charity assistance. I had a $2000 ER bill that I could not afford. I used a medical bill negotiation service that was able to negotiate the bill down to $800. The company was http://www.klfinancialservices.com the only thing the hospital offered me before using the service was to make interest free payments but no reduction.

my son has been in the hospital for a drug problem he was released and now he needs meds. he cant afford to go to the Dr. please help.

trying to help my dad get his eyes fixed, he is totaly blind because of catoracts, he has diebetes, and no one will help with a secondary insuranse because he is not 65 or older. if anyone know of anything that might help us out please please momment or get a hold of me. i hate seeing him like this, he cant even go to the bathroom by his self, he has to b lead around the house.

Uninsured college student stuck with emergency bill for untreated broken wrist.

I live in Houston, TX. I don't know how it is in your state, please talk to your hospital, they might be able to work something with you. I had surgery two months ago on both breasts caused by a massive infection. I went to the ER at the nearest hospital (which happened to be PRIVATE!!!) I was in over $15,000 in debt with no health insurance. I called the hospital many times to see if there was something out there to help me with my bill, all I got was that I needed to pay immediately or else it would to collection. My husband and I were so stressed that I even started to lose my hair (literally). I found out the my hospital had its headquarters about 2 hours away and called them. Three days later I received a letter stating that there was a charity discount that I could apply for, so I applied for it. Yesterday I got the BIG news that the application was approved and my account is now considered closed!!! Soo there is help, you just have to look for it. I'll be praying for you.

My wife had a terrible car accident 3 weeks ago. She had to have back surgery and stayed in hospital for 2 weeks. Her medical bills are over $120,000, we have no insurance, I am disabled living on SSD. Where can we go to get help or what charities can we apply for. We live in NC. If anyone knows where and how to get help,please let us know. There is no way we can pay this huge bill!
We are desperate!
Thanks One and All................

 in response to ninstuff...   It may not help much, and I don't know of any money out there looking myself for my son, but you as a caretaker need some time off yourself. I don;t know the state you live in but my state Arkansas as a place called Area On Aging will help give you sometime off by taking care of your husband in your home. Hope this helps some, God Bless both of you.

I have Hemochromatosis,iron over load.I have no health insurance,and the local blood bank,nor the Red Cross takes my blood.I need to have blood drawn to survive.I have no income,and need medical attention asap!
To top that off I am in a forced eviction,and have til Dec 20th to vacate this apartment.It's not like I haven't been looking for work,but with my condition,it is hard to function on a day to day basis! I have applied for Government assistance,and been denied twice.I need help,and I need it quick!!

Although my daughter has insurance it is not covering for "multiple excuses" many of her charges. Currently she is in desperate need to remain in hospital, yet the cost exceeds family income. Are there any charities to help keep these patients alive?

If anyone knows of a way to get help with medical bills I would love some tips. I am a single mom of 4 that was working 2 full time jobs as a CNA when I injured my back at work a yr ago... They had to rebuild my spine.... While I was laid up from that surgery I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery, then 3 wks later I had an SVT episode that I barely survived. I had to undergo heart surgery. It wasn't a complete success & I am now facing a possible 2nd heart surgery with pacemaker & just got news that my spine isn't good at all... They also just found a tumor in my spine & I'm undergoing more testing to determine if its cancer. My family can't help due to all the financial hardships of my 3yr old nephew battling leukemia. Since I'm unable to return to work at this time my insurance has run out. I am relying on friends and family just to keep a roof over our heads. I am only 33 & my children need me... I pray that we can find a way to make it through all this. Thanks for any advice & prayers.
