There is also a program that helps those who have Breast, Cerivcal and Ovarian cancer. There maybe programs that are available for people who aren't qualified for Medicaid. Again, I can only go by what we do here in my county in Va. Your friend should start at the health department and ask if there are any insurance programs for people who can't get Medicaid.

The reasons you have generations of families in housing projects and on welfare are a lot more varied than that, munchkin.

ADC doesn't exist anymore, the name of that program has been changed to TANF (Temporary Aid to Needy Families)

Maybe I'm thinking of Medicare?
