Finally, be aware that unexpected illnesses or hospitalizations can easily break a family budget.
If you need assistance, hospitals can help people with low incomes pay their hospital bills by
processing an application through the state’s charity care program, if one exists. Many states
also have created pools of money to cover those without insurance. The Bureau of Primary
Health Care sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will help you find
a clinic that will give you care even if you do not have health insurance. To find the clinics
available in your city go to http://ask.hrsa.gov/pc/.
If you have very low or no income, you and your children may be eligible for the governmentsponsored
Medicaid and State Children’s Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP). Call your state
Medicaid office for more information on eligibility for these programs.
