They have a buy-in program for Medicaid also if you have a chronic
life long illness Medicaid will let you buy-in because no insurance
companies will take you if you have it coming in.
You can make up to $1600 a month in Arkansas before you need to even
buy-in.

Lori,
Hello,
My name is Sharon I am on Public
Assistanance SSI, Social Security
Disability. But Its not because I
Want to be!! I worked for 8 years running
a office! One day I received
a letter stating that if I made 200.00 a month
I could loose my
medical insurance. Here in Ohio that's how it is!!!! What
Choice would
you have made? I knows not fair but! If laws ever change I will
go
back to work if I don't get too old first!!! Not everyone is on public
assistance because they want to be!!! There are allot on it that
should not
be!! But you don't know everyone's situation!!! Do not
judge until you're in
one shoes!!! Just my
opinion!!
Hugs
Sharon

Hey Lori I have a
question.
How do you live on $16,500 a
year with no help or public assistance?
There's a lot people on the list that would like to know your
secret.

Work
Many others can answer
this question as well. I got a B.S. in liberal
studies and
business administration. I wanted to work for IBM as it was a
big local firm but all resumes were ignored there and other
jobs.
I took a job at an ILC and
worked as an advocate of kids receiving
special-ed. It only
required an Associate's degree but I took it. Fool
move.
It only paid $16,500K. That = about $7.50 ban hour.
Nonetheless I
stuck with it. Then I began having pain here and
there ALL THE TIME. I
went to different Drs for 4-5 yrs and
finally found out I had
Syringomyelia.
I resigned from work
(foolish move ... shoulda retired on disability).
My endurance now
sucks along with other secondary problems later and yr
after
yr.
It SUCKS my degree isn't being
used RIGHT NOW but I keep plenty
busy!
Go to work if you can!
People whine about women on welfare yet so
many quads get exactly
that. Call it Medicaid, Public Assistance or
whatever ... but
it's welfare and I'll get slammed here for not being
P.C.!
If you know what you want to
do ... reach for it! GO FOR
IT!
TIP: DO NOT put that you
are disabled on your resume. I was green as
key lime pie when I
was doing mine/sending mine and made that mistake. List
only
your experience, degrees, etc.

Sludge and Sediment in FOLEY USERS
Lori
I want to change subjects and
ask you another question. I have not
been able to find
employment not only because of our problem with sediment
in my urine
but mainly because of recurrent pressure sores. I want to ask
you if you were employed and what you are doing. My repeated
attempts to
seek employment have been frustrated because of my skin
and I wanted to
learn what others are done explicit because your
entry-level is high and
similar to
mine.
I would appreciate any advice
or information you could provide me
