Help Debts

Posts Tagged ‘medical help’

Last year a filling fell out of my last back molar.
Quite a bit of the tooth fell apart(and out of my mouth) soon after.
I was saving to have it fixed, but I lost my job a few months ago.
Now all my money goes to school and rent.

I do not have any extra money.
I also do not have any family or anyone, who could lend me funds in any way.
I’ve been living on ramen for 6 months because I could swallow it and not cause tooth pain.
When chewing became too much I switched to protein shakes.
My tooth is now at the point I can suck through a straw and or drink much without immense pain.

I do not have 8 hours to sit in a office and maybe have a chance of getting looked at.
If I miss a certain number of days in class and lab, I lose grant money.
I’ve missed my quota already just trying to get someone…anyone to look at my tooth.
Nothing

I’m in over 0,00 student loan debt, school comes first and I know it will be ok in the long run BUT…my tooth sure don’t know that. :-/

I do not qualify for public-aid or medical help(trust me I have tried everything!)
Please don’t tell me to go to the Dental Clinics at UIC.
I’ve been there and they require full payment upfront, no exceptions.

I can make cash payments of about – a week.
No dentist or so called "free" clinic has been willing to work with me.

I really scared for my health, I know the tooth is past abscessed.

I just don’t know what to do.
Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places.

Any advice would be very welcomed.

I am 22 with a health condition and no health insurance. Because of this I have acquired a lot of debt. I work at a dealership in West lake and I live about 45 minutes away from my job. My car broke down and they tried to see if i could qualify to get another car. When she checked my credit, it was so bad that she said I should contact a bankruptcy lawyer and soon. I can’t even apply for a college loan and it is affecting my life very badly. Of course it’s not like I go out spending money I don’t have and can’t pay credit cards, it’s simply because of my health issues and needed immediate medical help. No insurance would cover me because of the famous "preexisting medical condition" excuse. And when I went to the free clinic they told me I made too much money (exactly too much). I need advice on whether I should do this or not. I am worried what will happen, but I need this debt handled with. Of course what the free clinic didn’t mention is how I live on my own, pay all of my bills, I don’t have cable, internet, or a nice car because they’re not necessities and I can’t afford them, that I can’t even afford meds to keep me going, or the actual medical tests and treatment that doctors say I desperately need. Someone please tell me if bankruptcy is the answer. I am so young and I my credit is so tarnished, I fear it won’t be fixed.
E&L: Ps I do have a fulltime job that provides health benefits, I just started 1month and a half ago. I wont get coverage until 6 months and then about 4 months to kick in
