help me please,

My boyfriend is will die if we can't find medical help for him soon. He needs help and we don't know what to do. He is a severe diabetic, (4 shots a day), has heart disease, neuropathy, and according to the last time his meds were updated, which was over 5 years ago, he is supposed to take 14 different prescriptions, but his medical only allows 6 per month, Tell me that makes sense! I need help! So help me God I don't know what to do. His feet are so swelled up & black, & he is in so much pain he can't stand it. is there anyone who can help us connect with a decent medical insurance that won't treat him like a 2nd rate citizen?  God please help us! please.

Move to Massachusetts where health care is affordable and universal. Im not kidding, I live here and the state health care program is better than any private insurance you can get anywhere else in the country. It saved my life.

"His feet are so swelled up & black"

Black skin is a sign of dead tissue from severe infection and/or complications from uncontrolled and mismanaged diabetes. You mention neuropathy. If not taken care of immediately can cause amputation and/or death. Get off the computer and take him to the ER NOW, worry about how to pay the bill/s later.

Hi there

This sounds like a medical emergency !!!

If his feet are going black then that usually means amputation is urgently required to save his life .  

You have to take him straight to hospital and take   out a loan ...a second mortgage whatever it takes as his life is worth more than money and you will never forgive yourself if you don't do something to save him now.

Please post how you get on

You must be going out of your mind

You are in my prayers
