Faith is belief in things not seen.

There'll be a public option in the final bill, and President Obama will sign it before Christmas. :-)

Rediclinic's cost $75 a visit, and there are many free or low cost clinics, if you really are so poor that you cannot find $75 somewhere, but really if you cannot save $75 over the course of four months, then you probably qualify for medicaid (and then you will have this great government insurance you are so desperate to get). If you are going to wait for some bureaucrat to address your health issues, then you will have a long wait.

Well let's see. This is Florida's Medicaid list.

DCF determines Medicaid eligibility for:

* Low income families with children
* Children only
* Pregnant women
* Non-citizens with medical emergencies
* Aged and/or disabled individuals not currently receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

I'm none of those. There is a plan for getting meds for cheap, which I would fall under, but I'd first need to see a doctor to see what's wrong and to continue my Lexapro medication, which I've been holding off for when I get a job so I don't lose it again. There's Blue cross and Blue shield but I'd still need a job to pay for such. I've gone to a clinic for $10 and waited 5 hours but again I need a job.

So pretty much it comes down to whichever happens first, I get a job or we get medical from the government if they allow the unemployed access to it.
