Seems no site is for eye problem. My brother worked his whole life, last place closed, new union job will not give him insurance until January! The only thing he qualified for was Community Cares Insurance which after going to Wills Eye Hospital Emergency Room was told they do not accept that Insurance.
Will most likely be blind in that eye by January and cancer spreading.
Union will not bend after months of working there until January for Insurance coverage.
Will most likely need eye removed if no help before January, which plan would you suggest ?
Community Cares is some form of Medicaid, but of no use at Wills Hospital in Philly.
