Is there a program to help pay for doctor visits, prescription medications, and other medical bills?

I have started having some serious medical problems over the last year and I need to be examined. I have no way to pay for anything. I cannot find a job but even if I do I still won't be able to pay for all the tests and medications I may need. My parents are supporting me but they can't afford to help me with this. I have no insurance and I am not eligible to get on their insurance. I am only 20 and I have been having symptoms associated with diabetes, hypothyroidism, depression, acid reflux, and too many others to list. I also was in a car accident (mechanical defect) where I had a seemingly minor head injury but I have been started having headaches and pain in my eyes and other problems that I believe may be from the accident. I don't know what to do. I am so scared that there may be something seriously wrong with my head. Does anyone know where I can get help?

you dont say where you are, but if you are in the united states, there are programs out there - they just make them hard to find... i just got through having to have a $30,000 hospital stay with no insurance - i live in texas... the county has a program to sign up for at the county hospital (parkland) but since i dont live in county, there is a seperate program just called "charity medical care" for those outside dallas county... just go to them and dont tell them your parents support you, they will consider you and your income (which is none) and be able to direct you to the appropriate programs which will help with doctor bills and medication costs ... also, as far as medications go, all the drug manufacturers in the usa have a charity/lowincome program... just go their websites (like glaxo, smithkline, ect) and they have it under programs ....
Reply:Go to the county hospital or look for a free clinic.
Reply:If it was a mechanical defect in the vehicle that caused you to have this accident, there may, as you stated be further injury that is causing ALL of your symptoms. What you need to do is get in touch with an attorney, get his advice. What you may be able to do is get the car company to pay for them to figure out what is going on with you, especially if they find it is associated with the accident (unless of course there was already a case and a settlement made).
