Unhappy Please ANYONE help me

Hi, I had a UTI back in July and didn't get treated (because the doctor never called me) until August. So I sat with an infection in me for at least a month. Well my insurance ran out the end of July and I haven't had any coverage since. My doctor's office will not even see me unless I have insurance or pay up front, which most people do not have the money to do. My sides hurt so bad when I touch them along with some stomach pains I have been getting. Before my priority was money, wondering how I am going to pay. Now I know that shouldn't matter and I should take care of myself first so I think I am going to the hospital tomorrow since I can not get care anywhere else. I know it's going to cost so much AND to make matters worse the public assistance office offers health care but there is a 5 month waiting list! I live in the US in the state of Pennsylvania. So my question is...isn't there someway my hospital visit could be paid for or I could get some help. I do live on my own (with boyfriend) and I make only $2 more than minimum wage an hour! Sorry to ramble on but I am lost, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Please ANYONE help me

Well, I know here in California we have have 'county medical center' where you can be seen for free or an ammount determined by the ammount of money you make a month. You should look into a free clinic .. also someplace like Planned Parenthood also offers services in this area .. again that cost is determined by how much money you make a month.

I know its hard when money is tight but your healt is far more importiant. Go to an emergency room its the law, they have to see you .. get your treatment and have them bill you .. make payments ... do what you have to do .. you wouldnt want to hurt yourself any further by waiting!

Take care!
