Careers with health benefits...or an awesome insurance plan?
Here's my situation, i'm 16 right now and i have a medical card that covers everything with no copays or anything that will run out when i turn 19. I have a disease in my eye that I have been dealing with for about the past 8 years, a little over a year ago i had a cornea transplant, and am about to have a cataract removed. i take right at $1000 dollars of perscription medicine a month, (600 of it from my eye problems) i go to a family eye doctor once a month, a specialist once a month and a the doctor that done my surgery once a month. they are very strategic, one is out of state, the other is an hour and a half away. my point is these are very expensive places. with the cornea transplant the odds are against me that the graph can be rejected and i'll have to have another transplant. with this comes a new line of specialists for different problems that i am just now starting to get away from. i am on an eyedrop four times daily that i will be on tthe rest of my life costing a little over 100 dollars a bottle. the point is that i am in a low income family and my career plan is that i really want to be a beautician - which kinda sucks for me due to the fact that there are no benefits especially what i would need. i dont want to live in debt to doctors my whole life and i really dont want to chose a career that i would be in school forever especially when its not really even what i want to do. which is be a beautician. well sorry its long and complicated...and weird but any advice other than i'm screwed.???
