Our medical insurance isn’t paying what they should, they should be paying 80% and reality is 0 to 20%. But that is another story, anyway, we now have 4 credit cards maxed out because we didn’t plan on having to pay for those medical bills since we had gotten pre-approved.
The 0% interest rate has been over for a couple of months and the interest is killing us. I’ve tried applying for a new credit card and can’t get one because of the others being maxed out. I don’t know what to do to try to consolidate the debt or better yet get our insurance to pay up. What makes it even worse is I am now out of work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My daughter is turning 26 in a month. Your health insurance is covered under my plan at work. She is self employed. She is 4’11 and ways 75 lbs. I received the notice from our insurance company stating that she would be no longer covered as of her birthday. Being proactive, I called the number provided to see how we could get her individual insurance. The options were mentioned but the provider said based on her height and weight she probably would not be able to get insurance because she doesn’t fit in the grid. I find that unusual and prejudicious. Interested in any advice you could give my daughter and myself.
