The biggest tragedy of pet ownership is that they just don’t live long enough. Thankfully scientists are working on that, with a new cancer vaccine for dogs that almost doubles their survival rates in the face of certain types of the disease.
Medicaid has different income limits for different states. For a family of 3 in Michigan it's about 2755 per month. If you make less (per household) you qualify for Medicaid. Search "Medicaid Requirements" plus your state. Everything is covered. The 2400ish we bring home a month barely covers our bills, but it's worth it for Medicaid if you have a chronic health condition (or on our case my spouse, our child, and myself all have serious health conditions). My medication for my pituitary deficiency would cost me thousands a month. My spouse and child have a genetic vascular condition and they need scans every year to make sure they're not about to die.
Another thing you can do is a Medicaid spend down. I'm not sure how it is for every other state. But let's say your limit is 3000 for your family but your income is 4000 and your medical bills are 2000 a month. You pay the difference between your income and the limit (1000), and Medicaid covers the rest. I believe you have to have a serious health issue to qualify for a Medicaid spend down.
If you are low enough income to qualify for SSI, Medicaid is given automatically (I think in every state).
In our state of Michigan you apply for Medicaid at DHHS. They have a very easy to use website for a few years now (it was a big hassle before that). Let me know if you have more questions about this.
Cherrypicking.
The point is we are way better off than most nations on healthcare. You could be stuck in Russia where your medical options are get drafted to the front line and killed in your sleep by fellow soldiers over who gets the last soup.
Sorry... how am I cherrypicking by proving my point that being poor doesn't necessarily get you chemo?
How does it prove your point that, "In America, you can get free coverage if you are broke enough?" Because it seems like it shows the exact opposite.
You didn't prove that chemo isn't provided coverage, you provided select times where coverage doesn't sustain long term.
The claim was never all medical bills is covered in the USA.
And that has nothing to do with what the previous commenter said that you quoted your response too.
It's nitpicking for holes in a statement made about the place where coverage is. Yall aren't interested in solutions to "my old man's back problems." Yall are looking for a political point to bitch about to justify shitting on a cancer vaccine.
The claim was never all medical coverage is covered in the USA.
Sorry, what does: "In America, you can get free coverage if you are broke enough" mean then?
It means "In America, you can get free coverage for certain things if you are broke enough but for other things, unless you have money, too bad, you're going to die?"
I'm not going to write to a person that can't read. You are literally demonstrating how you have to rewrite what was there to justify your idiotic responses.
Nothing in that sentence is a 100% guarantee and it obviously opens up the door to needing more information to tell.
That isn't the comment you left your response to either, dipshit.
I hope you get a chance to encounter uncurable cancer of your loved ones so you can have a little empathy for these moments.
Hope no longer. Several of my loved ones have died of cancer. One because they couldn't afford chemo. Which is why I know poor people can't always afford chemo in the U.S.
I hope you're very happy about two of my grandparents and one of my cousins dying of cancer since you hoped for it to happen.
