Free And Low-Cost Medical Care

     The previous section, “I Fell Into The Doughnut Hole,” lists some medical as well as prescription programs. And here’s more:

SENIORS, GET ALL YOUR BENEFITS

     Do you know a senior who may not be getting all the benefits available to him or her? The NATIONAL COUNCIL ON AGING has helped more than two million people get what they’re entitled to. They’ll help you “find and enroll in federal, state, local and private programs that help pay for prescription drugs, utility bills, meals, health care, and other needs.” Check them out – you may find something you didn’t know about.

HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR ALL

     We hear a lot of political talk about health insurance coverage for all Americans – which coverage may or may not materialize in the next few years. In the meantime, the FOUNDATION FOR HEALTH COVERAGE EDUCATION wants to help as many Americans as possible get free or low-cost health insurance coverage, under the options we now have available. So, if you know a person or family that doesn’t have health insurance, do point them to this website, which will explain about coverage for which they may be eligible right now.

LOW-COST OR FREE DENTAL, HOSPITAL, AND EYE CARE

     LOW-COST-DENTAL-PLANS-ONLINE.COM describes many state dental plans, dental clinics, and other places where lower cost dental care can be found. The site doesn’t seem to sell anything; it is rather a bringing together of information as a public service. Once again, do bring it to the attention of those in your community who can use the information to help people who need dental care but can’t afford it. I remember taking a taxi to the dentist one time, and the driver said he needed dental care but couldn’t afford it. If I’d known about this website, I could have helped him.
