<prompt> Human: I am writing this for a friend who doesnt have an account:She is a full time student with a variety of health issues, including vision, sensitive skin issues, and a few mental health issues. She covers this by seeing a therapist once a month and going to urgent care for anti itch cream when it flames up.Her family is fairly low income and have told her they can not afford for her to go to the doctor unless it is an emergency, but this has left her in a state where her skin or body are severely agitated and she still refuses to go to the doctor because it costs too much. What are the options here? Could filing as independent qualify her for any healthcare? Advice is appreciated.  <response>: healthcare.gov to see if she can qualify for Medicaid in her state. if she is unsure how to navigate the website, teh website has contact information for in person health insurance Navigator services.Go to the website of the county heatlh department to see listings for sliding scale health services.
