Why I will Marry for Health Insurance
I am a 45 yo divorced women in San Diego. I am currently on Cobra. I am also disabled with a severe genetic immune defect . As a married mother of 4 children, I spent the last 25 years at home raising my children. Now, I am faced with being divorced, disabled ,and Cobra running out.
Where will I go??? I qualify through my Dr as disabled. I would qualify for medical , SSI or SSDI but cant get it . WHY?? Because being home raising children and not working I didn't pay into the fund to collect SSDI from the state of California. Then, I do qualify for SSI except for one problem. They say I have to many ASSETS. I have a small divorce settlement from my 24 year marriage that I try and live on as well as a Pastime Job that just covers the cost of my current health care. Cobra costs me $400 and my medications and Dr co pays another $100 a mo . The government wont let me help myself. I need to first run out of money in my account and thus be on the streets first. Money for the most part that is paying for Health insurance .
Because I don't have access to affordable health care,have a pre existing conditionand the rules for assets are capped at 2k for any assistance, I will be out of money and going to YOU and the government for help years sooner then if I was offered affordable Health ,Available health care . They wont let me help myself. I have never taken a penny from the government. My ex husband actually works for the State of California and “we” paid taxes for 30 years.
Cobra is almost over ,what will I do???. Frankly, I will be better off if I run out of money and suck off the American tax payers and there is something WRONG with that. Ssi i provides $800 a month plus I would get full medical benefits. I would also get food stamps. Why should I continue to suffer each day with whether to eat or pay health insurance,work my ass off and pay taxes...for what????. Shame on all of you that make rules when some of us qualify but fall through the cracks. Please help me with affordable,available health insurance.
The people who are the sickest need the health care the most. Also, people who have a small savings in the bank aren't rich they are trying to survive so YOU don't have to support us. HELP ME HELP YOU!!!! Thank you Terri Carlson

I think it's sad that anybody feels they have reached this point. Insurance is important for sure, but I just hate to see this type of situation.

Stories like yours just enrage me. That's why we need universal health care. No need to worry about whether one can afford treatments or not; the State will pay, whatever the illness. I am looking forward to the implementation of the law.

I hope that you get help soon. I feel so bad for people like you who need health insurance and aren't able to get it. You deserve it for having raised 4 children while being disabled. I wish I could help you financially, but while I can't do that, I can certainly pray for you.
