Paying the bills

So, I've racked up hospital bills I can't pay. Borrowed money to pay my oncologist. I end up at the Santa Cruz Medical?(crap can't think of the name for it) any rate it's for basically homeless people. I made 9,000.00 yes, nine thousand dollars and didn't qualify for the Santa Cruz insurance. Thankfully, the lady passed me on to the medical person. And yes, I qualified for that. I can LIVE. How sad is this??? Making more I wouldn't qualify and would die. How bizarre, I'm thinking we didn't need this whole government insurance thing, just a qualified insurance, your company can't carry you? You don't qualify for medical or medicaid? This is an alternative. DEATH, should not be the alternative, never, never, yet I faced it, and thankfully the State of California, stepped in and saved my life.
