I hope this is true. However, I feel like I’ve been spoiled in California. My health care coverage is universal and the care is amazing. All within 20 minutes of my house. No wait times. And I’ve always gotten free gyno care through planned parenthood. I feel like California is really good and easy to navigate and I am nervous that Pennsylvania will be hard. A lot of people mentioned month long wait times for mental health appointments. And that you can’t get psych meds at a urgent care. These are scary to me because Im bipolar and For the first time in a decade i am really healthy mentally. This is because of my medication. If there is ever a lapse in time where I have to go off my meds, it could be super bad for me. And if an emergency happened I would want to see my psychiatrist or therapist right away. These are things I am worried about but I have to make the move.

That’s really awful because if anything happens and I am without medication it is very bad. So in the past where I don’t have a doctor I just go to urgent care . Or emergency room

I don’t know how they would refer to another state

They won’t take you if you have past of hospitalizations? What the hell? I have 5 hospitalizations in the past 10 years

I’m going to try

What the actual fuck! So if you don’t own a home or have two cars you can’t get food stamps?! That’s so fucked up. In California I didn’t own anything just was low income and I got 500$ a month in food stamps

I’m nervous and a bit worried about it

That is a bit alarming to me . Maybe if I get health care in an emergency I can get my medication from an urgent care?

Thank you so much!

I will try. I have to have the insurance though I think before I can make an appointment. But I will do the footwork. Thank you

I hope it never gets to a point where I need to be hospitalized , I had a very traumatic 14 day experience and swore I would never admit myself no matter how bad it got

This scares me a bit. I have bipolar disorder and rely heavily on Lithium and an antipsychotic. I will have a 60 day supply of meds but I’m scared that I won’t get care and go off my meds

I would think mental healthcare should be covered along with physical health

Thank you for the great info

Thank you!!

I’m so sorry that is awful! I don’t work and if I do get a job it would be part time . I hope I qualify !

I’ll be in Allentown

I would be in Allentown

I feel like there should be no question if mental health care is covered , physical health problems are just as bad as mental health issues. That would be unsettling if not

There is Medicaid and it is for low income and is free
