Lookit my Grandbaby!!

Well we have Medicaid. What an ordeal.

Some advice - don't have any health issues requiring a doctor's care without insurance. They don't treat you very nicely.

We've been dealing with this since late May. After six in-person visits and three times filling out the application I thought it was hopeless, but on our last visit to Brackenridge to confront a live caseworker with our story and demand some action, we were presented with a temporary number and the announcement that she is "certified."

So we can go to the doctor on Wednesday and get her thyroid checked and all the other things she's been saving up that didn't seem emergency-room worthy.

Whew.
