State of KY (for teachers) makes it so expensive to have spouses on a policy. If you have the family plan its reasonable. I dont have insurance. I get discounts at my doctors, they give me samples when I can, I'm on discount program at our local pharmacy. Try going through your local health department. Also for mammagrams I go through Susan Coleman Foundation (I get them free). Contact your local health dept or at the hospital their womens wellness center. Yes, I was hospitalized for 10days, help from family took care of all but hospital and er bill. We pay $50 a month for ever. A hospital cant refuse you treatment.

As far as other assistantance we dont qualify because hubby makes to much. I laughed at that one because teachers dont get paid enough.
Here are two programs that you should look into

We were like $1000 shy of qualifying on one program.
