Slipping Through The Cracks

These past few weeks have been a blur. I've almost ignored the existence of the elephant in the room...

I received a call that D's insurance isn't going to cover his treatment, after all. Which means that not only will I be responsible for $2000 a day, since October 17th... but more importantly, D will more than likely be sent home soon, without completing his treatment. Treatment that is saving his life. This is the actual conversation:

Medicaid: I'm sorry but we just don't cover mental health any longer.
Me: Help me understand this a little better... If "D" had cancer, the state would rally around him and tell him he is a survivor and we will do whatever it takes to save his life. BUT since he has a (potentially terminal) mental health illness, he does not qualify for services. Am I correct?
Medicaid: Unfortunately, this is the case. This is the unforeseen consequence of the changes in Legislation.
Me: My son could die.
Medicaid: I understand and I'm sorry and believe me, I wish I could help you... Legislation.

Due to the changes in Legislation, effective January 1, 2014, families like ours (working class) don't qualify for medicaid even while the patient is in treatment. And we don't qualify for Tefra, while D is institutionalized. *sigh*

Please keep us in your prayers to protect D and allow him to get the health care he needs and deserves... and to protect our family from financial devastation.
