my family was on Medicaid but we got kicked off after I turned 18 because my mom doesn’t have young children in the house to qualify her. I was on on my colleges health plan for a while but I had to drop to part time this semester due to financial issues and having to work more so now I don’t qualify.
I have multiple health problems and am on a few medications but I can’t afford care out of pocket. I know in Texas low income alone doesn’t qualify you but I don’t know if I qualify for disability. I have bipolar disorder type 1, adhd, anxiety, acid reflux disorder, and scoliosis. I’m able to work and function when I’m medicated but last time I couldn’t get my meds I have a severe episode that led to me losing my job and hospitalization. My scoliosis is also pretty bad it’s led to some hip issues (I’m unsure what because my gp referred me to a specialist but I can’t afford it), I’m on pain meds and walk with a limp though. Like how “disabled” do I have to be to qualify? Is it even worth applying? What do I do if I don’t qualify?
