What I want to know is how much that hospital visit cost him?

I developed health problems last year, around this time. I finally went to county to get checked out. I don't have insurance. At the time I was a community college student, however the campus health clinic had been shut down for budget reasons.

I went to the doctor, and after an EKG, they perscribed medication to try and regulate my heart. I was worried about how much this was going to cost, and how I could pay for it.

As I am a divorced mother with 2 children still at home, I was advised that I qualified for MediCal. I explained that the children were already insured through their father, but that didn't seem to be a problem.

I was told that I had a share of cost of 560 dollars. Fine. I saved it up, and then couldn't find anyone to tell me who to send it to. At my last appointment, the woman told me that I wasn't elligible for MediCal, then came back with a different card, after I asked her where I should pay this share of cost.

I have 7 bills from county sitting on my dining room table, totalling up to almost 4k. I can't pay it. I ran out of meds, but unfortunately I see now that I need to get them refilled. What a load. I should have spoken broken English and passed myself off as Hispanic :-(

Btw....both kids got MediCal ID's immediately. I never got one....
