My ex husband lives in another state and the insurance that is on my son stinks. I have to pay out of pocket for all of his doctor visits. I was wondering if anyone knew of some programs that I could get my 3 year old son on in the hawthorne NJ area? I feel like he does not get the medical care that he needs because of this issue. I am a single Mom with a tight budget. Any suggestions or website address would be appreciated.....

What can I do next?

You could look into New York State Child Health Plus. It's a state health insurance plan for children. Hope this helps!

Hi L.,

I believe there is a company called NJCARE which is very inexpensive especially for us single Moms.

Good Luck.

I thought there was a program in New Jersey called New Jersey Kids Care. Check this site out

I know how it feels. I just went full time and took the insurance at my work place. Now I see why everyone complained so much. Everything we did in the past month we got a partial bill for. We will drown if this keeps up. And it makes me scared to go to the doctor for myself or my family.
It shouldn't be this way. We can take care of people over seas, but can take care of our own. Good Luck to you.
