Check with federal and state agencies.
The State of Washington offers insurance that might help you. However, I do not know where you live.
Ask the county clerk if there is low-income assistance in your county or region.
Simply tell them that you need to be healthy in order to be a contributing tax payer.
In Pennsylvania, children get free health insurance through the C.H.I.P. program if you qualify as low income.
your husband was rejected from disability but how about you? also you should try to get medicare. they will just have to prove that you are disabled. otherwise. one thing to do is find a job that offers insurance from the first day. larger companies sometimes do this. why is your husband unemployable? make him get a job or get out.
Health care could be as easy as contacting your state assistance employees. For meds you should contact the companys who make that specific drug. They have discounted if not free for those who apply. Councelling services – call around and explain your situation they might discount your rate if not give free sessions. They have a percentage of cases they need to do for free.
Contact a lawyer due to being rejected disability. You need some legal help to force some issues.
I don’t know about other countries, but in the US you would be on social security with your disabilities.
You can get health care also if you like. Shop around. It may be that with your previous conditions they want to charge you high premiums, but if you get a high deductible it will lower the monthly costs significantly.
Also, every county in the US has a free health department. If all else fails, use that. They’re really not bad.
