Paying for everything
-
$40,000 a year for medication? I don't think any insurance company is willing to shell out that much per year for medication. Anyways get insurance on your own, you can get some pretty decent packages out there for as little as $100 a month
-
What kind of medication are you using?? & for what?
-
join the military. I know that sounds stupid, but they pay for a career education, college degrees, tons of benefits, and there's 100% free healthcare. Plus it a great way to get a good jumpstart on your life after highschool.I sound like my recruiter.
-
I doubt they would accept someone with a medical disability, which is what this sounds like.
-
I'm in somewhat of the same situation. My medical treatments are about $24,000 a year and I can't join the military because of my condition.You need to get in contact with the department of labor and arrange things with them. The thing you need to look into is vocational rehab. They will help you with job placement where you can have health insurance and even support you with job security.What kind of medical benefits are you getting? I get military benefits, so as long as I'm a student and under 24, I have health insurance.
-
What do you mean you get military benefits???
-
Tricare Prime. My dad is retired from the Navy.
-
Most people get benefits if they're under the age of 24 and a student. I do.
-
health insurance?
-
yes
-
ok. I thought it was only military dependents and others whose parent has a really good job.Anyways, bottom line is you need to get in contact with vocational rehab. I think every high school has to have some kind of contact with them. Ask your counselor.

and according to him that's when he's healthy

i have had cystic fibrosis since i was 3 months old and have had diabetes since jan. of 2000. ~ my parents insurance covers me while in school also, but i dont think ill be doing much schooling after high school. i'll check into the department of labor. ~the military is out of the question. i love getting recruiters excited, then im like "oh, by the way..." my kicks i guess.
-
lol. I do the same thing with the recruiters. They usually respond, "oh, um... Well, at least it sounds like you're headed in the right direction. Thanks for your time."department of labor is the way to go. Vocational Rehab is for those people who are affected in the workplace due to their health. This can range from disability and retardation to having something wrong with your health where you can become ill for long periods of time.You may want to consider college. You may actually save more money going to college in your case. I know it will save me money to go to college. lol. Messed up, huh?

Move to the UK mate, medical treatment is free on the NHS :s
