Have you applied at your local job and family services for a state medical card.The guidelines are not as strict for medical as they are for foodstamps or cash.If you can prove a medication dependancy (like for psoriasis) you are almost always approved in Ohio.

Hi! When I did not have any insurance I found a way to recieve the Enbrel shots for free based on my income directly from the people who make it (the Encourage Foundation). You will have to see a doctor to write a prescription for it. If you need more info let me know!

This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
