Comments on: How San Francisco’s provides Health Care for the Uninsured http://healthcare-economist.com/2010/01/22/how-san-franciscos-provides-health-care-for-the-uninsured/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:10:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Singlemom http://healthcare-economist.com/2010/01/22/how-san-franciscos-provides-health-care-for-the-uninsured/comment-page-1/#comment-11711 Singlemom Thu, 24 Mar 2011 19:44:08 +0000 http://healthcare-economist.com/?p=3529#comment-11711 I have applied for HSF, unfortunately being a single mom, they denied me an appointment. Apparently if you're a single parent, you need to bring them a rejection letter from Medical - but if you look on Medical's eligibility website, http://www.hrsa.gov/reimbursement/states/California-Eligibility.htm - only pregnant women and those under 21, qualify. I don't see anywhere "single parents" or "women with minors", in there. Yet, you need to be a "reject" in order to qualify for HSF, which makes you feel lower than low. My child has insurance, but I can't get one, unless I get humiliated and rejected everywhere else!!! GOTTA LOVE THIS SYSTEM!!!

Its where the work occurs, not the physical residence of the worker. Unless of course they work from home.... but wasnt part of your example.

There just is no easy way to fix healthcare without a generation worth of unraveling and sacrifice from many involved. Unfortunately, "the many" are companies who are publicly-owned and have shareholder obligation. Its more than a Starbuck's Venti-sized sit down conversation...perhaps I should re-fill my java card for the long haul. Best, Steve Robin Hood strikes again.
