And you didn't apply for Medicaid before going to the emergency room why? If you apply, go to the emergency room or have your surgery and are then approved after the fact, you get retroactive coverage from the application point.

I had been denied a number of other times, because I was on unemployment (election year stuff, it got extended to people).  And I had others tell me they couldn't find me anything.  I ended up at a clinic at the hospital.  Until I had Medicaid surgery wasn't seen as an option.  But I was able to press through with an insurance company and secure it.   I had applied before and was denied.  This was before the back problem I had tried.
