Scared

[casscass09]

Whenever I think about my future all I see is me being in debt with medical bills. I was diagnosed with crohn's when I was 15, and now i'm 20. At the time I didn't think much of it when I got diagnosed with it, they put me on remicade and I was all good. Most of the time I forget I have it, and I understand how lucky I am for that. The thing is when i was younger I didn't have to worry about those medical bills because my parents never made much and we had Medicaid so I got free treatments. I'm still on Medicaid and i'm still getting free treatments, but the problem is that I feel stuck. I feel stuck because if I want to keep medicaid I would have to stay at my part time job that makes me miserable and live with my parents. I want a full time job, but if I did that then I would probably get crappy health insurance with a high detectable. I hate having crohn's.

sorry, this is just me venting. I sound dumb, haha.

If you were to go full-time you could still get remicade for fairly cheap. Remicade has a patient assistance program(other biologics like humira do to). Remicade has remistart program and it isn't financially based. So it cus the price down to as low as 5 dollars per infusion.

My son is 18, dx'ed at 15. He starts college in the fall. I do worry since we have really great insurance but he'll come off at 26. I'm just hoping with his degree he really looks for a career that is flexible to his disease and really good insurance. But we are still awhile away from that.
