Insurance

Okay, I am unemployeed with 2 children. Yes, I am engaged but not married.  I applied for government insurance and I received a call today regarding my application. Due to my child support which the state considers "income". I am over qualified due to my income by .39 a month. Yes, that is correct .39 a month. So, now it's a trip to the Health Dept for an exam, mammogram, sonogram, and then the biopsy for me, "to pay out of pocket". Then if the biopsy comes back malignant (cancerous) then they will assist me in getting insurance. If I could afford insurance or these test I wouldn't have applied for help. I'm expected to pay for all of this out of my pocket with the additional .39 a month I make?? I am discouraged by our Government. I am an intelligent, college graduate, mom of 2, who needs help. So, why is it they are willing to do this to a mother? Discouraged, I continue thru my day trying to figure this out. I get my kids from school, help with homework, feed them dinner, and take them to church. I take the time to try and collect myself before they get out of Wednesday night service. It didn't work. I ended coming home and looking at pictures on the internet of women that have had a mysectomy. THE WORST THING I COULD EVER DO!! I can't get those pictures out of my mind. I think to myself, what will my children do if I am not  here, what will my fiance' do if I am not here?? I will look like a monster. How will I ever become intimate with my fiance' again? Insurance, Insurance... (.39) is all it would take. Is this fair?? I think not but again I am Byass.
