Hi all. I found out earlier today my dad isn't able to renew his insurance (he didn't go into specifics). Bottom line: I am uninsured, in college, and due to have a total thyroidectomy next month.
I'm at a loss for what to do. I will apply for Medicaid - but almost certain I won't be accepted. My job as a pre-k teacher assistant has ended for the summer. Hours for the Fall are unpredictable as they're changing staff positions. Minimal savings. Student loan debt going up to $30,000+ already.
I have no idea what other options to implore. I can hold off on surgery, but my condition is affecting my life quality and my doctor prefers I get the procedure done ASAP. Aside from the surgery, I get sick quite frequently and have a chronic condition that requires daily medication. I can't afford any of these services without insurance.
Any suggestions on how to proceed? Located in Texas.
