<prompt> Human: My mom is 59, from Alabama, has no job, no insurance, she gets food stamps. I was looking at trying to get her on some type of medical insurance and it seems Ive hit an impasse. I looked at medicaid and she didnt pass the website prequalifications because she doesnt have any children below 18 and isnt disabled. She cannot afford insurance through the marketplace because at minimum it seems its 588month. With no income, Im not sure what she is supposed to do. She is trying, and has been for months, to find a job. But at her age and limited qualifications shes finding it incredibly difficult. My boyfriend helps her with her bills she lives in a camper in a rented site at 100mo. Her utilities are a total of about 150mo. But because he pays for my medical stuff he cannot afford to take care of hers as well, not that he should have to. He does what he does out of the kindness of his heart, but she obviously needs insurance. Shes at the age, now, where her health problems such as high BP need to be addressed. Does anyone have any advice to offer other than get a job? She really is trying to. Also, my stepfather passed away in 2014 at 63, but she cannot get his SSI because shes not old enough.  <response>: No advice, just sympathy. Noticed another similar post, and I have a mother who never bothered to concern herself with retirement.Hopefully these posts will make people pay attention to their own retirement. Dont do this to your kids.
