Just learned that I am booted off of Medicaid and have Medicare [View all]

I've been on disability for two years. I am 38 years old and have ALOT of medical visits.

Medicaid paid 100% of most of my health needs. I am a single mom living on a fixed income. I do not qualify for food stamps.

I can't get through the Medicare number to get any information. We barely scratch by each month and now I'm terrified that I won't be able to get medical care that I can afford, as I've been told Medicare has copays on everything. I learned about the change when I went to fill my prescriptions, because I had to pay out of pocket for them.

I'm sick and feeling a little hopeless. How is it that the poorest and sickest have to go through so much in order to get help?

If anyone has any advice, it would be much appreciated.
