No insurance
Plain and simple I work full time ($40k annual) with no health insurance and I’m having major symptoms of a brain tumor(23yrs old). I don’t know if I should quit my job and go to the ER to get Medicare or if I even qualify if I were to quit my job before arriving at the ER. I’m trying all possible to avoid paying cash even making appointments for cash consultations with neurologist. However, the symptoms are still present and the soonest appointment I could get for a cash consultation is at the end of the month (28 days from now). America fucking sucks I can’t afford to pay my health insurance even with my lowest option for work health insurance($270). Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Tried urgent cares (California) and none have equipment for head scans (MRIs), doctor told me specifically “I don’t want to waste your money because honestly I don’t know what you have, I’ll prescribe you these steroids and pain killers and see how you feel after a week, I’d wait until the consultation with the neurologist”. I simply just want to be checked out without having to work the debt off for rest of my life…
