Help

MY husband needs a liver transplant we live in Arizona.  We have no insurance, the state medical denied us because I am disabled and my social security disability that supports both of us, they say I make 200 dollars to much to have him covered on the state AHCCS.  I wrote to the governor and also my senator but have gotten no where.  My husband is is the hospital since Jan. 28th his kidneys are now failing and he need dialysis another problem can't get out patient dialysis without insurance so the hospital is giving him dialysis three days a week while he is in there.  A very sad situation when money prevents a person to at least get a chance to be on the liver transplant list.  If they died on the list waiting for a liver , at least they were on it and had a chance.  Not getting on the list at all is something that tears my heart apart.  I feel so helpless, everyday I come home from the hospital and research and research to find help but I get nowhere.  Any suggestions or advice I would be so very gratiful.  Thank you
