I need oxygen and I can't afford to pay for it. I have no insurance until March 2016 when I get Medicare.

Call the social services dept at your local hospital and ask them where you can go for help. Ask the doctor who told you to use it where you can get it cheaply since you have no funds. Ask your family for assistance. Ask who the oxygen suppliers are for your area...ask your doctor as I'm thinking he would know...call them and find out exactly how much it would cost and whether they have any assistance programs. If you have a charge account, put it on your card and pay the minimum payment it calls for. Ask your doctor if an inhaler would help you until you,re on Medicare.

luvbugg, make sure when you do get Medicare that you sign up also for Part B.
