I qualify for Medicaid..$200 a month taken a toll on my bills.

Q) I was told by SS office that I qualify for Medicare and Medicaid and Medicare both due to my SS Disability low income bracket and due to my qualifying insurance. With Obamacare I had $0 cost for my premium per month. I just qualified for early Medicare and pay over $200.00 a month. It’s taken a toll on my bills. I have 12 Disabilities and counting and had just started treatment that I will not be able to afford. I need to get this taken care of ASAP. I finally found a qualified Dr and they don’t take the Medicare and my treatment costs are significant during my continued testing.
