Re: Hospital operation upcoming and have no insurance

Post by TimPfeifer »

Hello,
I am writing on behalf of my fiancé. He is an Army Veteran who has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure and a problem with his mitral valve. He has no health insurance, and we cannot pay for any of these bills.
We have gone to the Utah Cardiology Office in Farmington, and Davis Hospital for help. He was admitted to Davis Hospital for two days and was discharged today.
He does not have insurance right now, and we keep hearing that he needs an angiogram and a valve replacement. The cardiologist and the hospital have told us that he is not a priority, and the waitlist for the VA is not moving forward.
We have no idea how we are going to be able to pay for all of this, and it is causing his (and my) mental health to deteriorate.
Do you have, or know of, any kind of programs that could help in this situation?

There are Oregon health care programs for the uninsured. Now whether they cover the operation you need or not, who knows. You need to call them, apply, and see what they say.

However in the last few months my benefits were terminated and I have not gotten an approval from Social Security. I have no income and the bills are piling up. The main question however is, I lost my health insurance and my wife is in need of a gallbladder surgery. Is there anything you can do to help? Thank you.

I have been on short-term disability since 5/6/2018 after suffering a stroke & radial nerve palsy. Now I need to go to the hospital but I have no health insurance. I am currently living on 50% income gross yearly @ $20,030 (family of 1). My short-term ends on 12/23/2019 & I will be converted to long-term disability @ 60% income ($24,045 yearly) & am registered with an organization assisting me with qualifying for SSDI due to my disability. But neither of the disability gives me the insurance I need for the hospital bills. I have numerous housing repairs on my mobile home that I can't afford along with a current disconnect notice on 12/29/2019 of my electricity & sewer/water service in the amount of $175.50 as well as the bills from not having health insurance.
