Options for uninsured AZ resident |
|
Hi all,
Someone I know (I can't really call her a friend) here in AZ does not have insurance (works hourly part-time/contract/seasonal work for the city teaching recreation classes) and wants/needs to get some. She told me that she makes $1000 too much to qualify for AHCCCS and said that she doesn't have the $1500 - $2000 it would cost to get health insurance under the new health care bill. When she asked me what she should do I refrained from saying "Stop voting Republican" (one of the reasons I don't consider her a friend is because she's a classic hypocritical Republican where government spending is wasteful except for her pay) and instead said that I would ask around. Are there any agencies or organizations I can refer her to who might be able to help her find lower cost health insurance or a lower cost health care?

1. Nope. And I refrain from reminding you the GOP wasn't the party that |
|
brought us the HCR. And it may sound harsh but if she is a Republican I wouldn't tell her even if I knew.Both parties have screwed with healtcare but the GOP is so vile on so many levels here in AZ that I wouldn't help a blasted one out under ANY conditions and that goes for family as well.

4. She'll have to wait 'til 2014, when the buying groups and subsidies |
|
kick in, unless the Publicans destroy HCR first.
