This person was told she didn't qualify for social security as she was mostly a housewife and hardly worked. And can she qualify for disability? She is being charged over $50.00 a treatment and she needs several on a weekly basis. Her husband is the only one with a social security check. And they CANNOT afford these cancer treatments. How do they expect her to pay? Can a person that needs breast cancer treatments qualify for medicaid after she turned 65 years old in January 2012.

I went to get my flu shot on October 10 and CVS stated that my coverage had not begun and they wouldnt give me the shot. Do I have to wait until after my birthday on October 17th for the coverage to kick in? I dont have my medical card yet but the letter states if I need anything I would be covered just show the confirmation letter5. What are the rules?
