I can’t believe this. The County Health program that I have waited six weeks to
get authorization for Remicade, has just sent me a letter that my income is too
far above poverty level and I will not receive benefits after Dec1 — I am in
shock. I am in California and it is a State/County subsidized health program.

Sorry to hear this. The only thing I can suggest is contacting Centcort and
seeing if you qualify with them for help to get the Remicade.

I went through the same thing when my 24 yr. old was a
sick infant. I was too rich to get medical assistance for her because I
owned a car. I said that I could sell it but then when I asked the
caseworker if she would transport me to and from work and the daycare, so I
could keep my job she had the nerve to say no.

I also would liek to add that states have been cutting medicaid like crazy,
in part due to funding cuts from botht eh congress and the Bush
administration. This crunch will ease a bit when the full medicare Rx plan
goes into effect, kicking many seniors out of medicaid.

I am very sorry for your situation. I really don’t know what to offer you.
I would contact some local and federal elected officials and get them on
your side.
