True, but you have to be practically living in a box before you can get approved for these programs. While I was still living in MN, I got kicked off my parent's ins. at 21. So, I went to apply for Medicaid and for basically any medical assistance that I could possibly get. I didn't qualify for any of them....These govt. programs are not all they are cracked up to be. And, it wasn't like I was making tons of money. I was making $7.95/hour working at a shoe store part time while going to school. I just recently got Insurance back in November, 2005. I tell you, it is hard to not have insurance for almost 2 years. I'm still paying off the medical bills that were accrued during that time. We can only hope that these programs will get better someday!
