I haven't been able to work due to my leg giving out and I have to find something that'll take care of bills and rent before my unemployment is up. Would any of you have some ideas handy?
I'm also looking for health coverage that'll help deal with the medical costs on my knee because I think something is really messed up with it. I don't want to lose another job if I get hurt again.
Voltz, I assume you went in to have your leg checked out? If you did, did you have insurance at that time?
Looks like your location is about to come true.Quote:

Yeah it sucks, but he is right, if you can do customer service or something for an insurance company or something you can get good and afforable benefits.Quote:

No health insurance is going to pay for an injury you incurred before you were insured. If you were covered when you were injured, you're going to have to go to whoever was insuring you. Otherwise your choices are to lie or to eat the bills yourself...and I don't think you're going to be able to lie.Quote:

Bastards turned me down, so no luck so far.Quote:

If being able to move will get you a better job, isn't it worthwhile to go into debt?
Don't wait for them to call, be the aggressor. They'll give you a higher priority, if you show interest. When my wife worked for a temp agency, she would call them every week. It payed off and now she has a great job full-time.Quote:
