A member asked:

My dominate hand was partially amputated leaving me with two fingers left. i have no health insurance and can't get help with pain.. any suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get insurance: Can you be insured on your parents plan? If not, can you apply for insurance thru the affordable care act (obama care)? You probably qualify for insurance but need to look into it. www.healthcare.gov
