Doesn't seem to be a neccessity for me. I know I can't live with out food, shelter, and water for that long. |
My story is, before I was on Medicaid, I was getting free healthcare at a clinic. I needed surgery on my back. They were unable to pay for the anastesia. I was about to get Medicaid and then get the surgery paid for. Without the surgery, I would of been laid up like a cripple for life, unable to work and in pain. But, because of the delays in getting the surgery done, I likely have permanent nerve damage to my foot (I have numb spot there). So, I can see you getting basics, but not sure how you would go about getting surgery, if you needed it, following what you follow.
