How can a married couple who cant afford health insurance get assistance?

We are in our late 50s, both work, but cant afford to pay for health coverage %26amp; I am a diabeticHow can a married couple who cant afford health insurance get assistance?
Well, if you're looking for someone else to give you assistance, you'll probably have to wait until you qualify for medicaid, or turn 65 and can get on medicare. Many churches have an assistance program, but it's really aimed at one time assistance, not ongoing stuff.





My best recommendation, is that both of you should start looking for new jobs, that will give you access to health insurance benefits. Even an extra part time job at Walmart would get that for you.How can a married couple who cant afford health insurance get assistance?
Unless your income levels are very low and you can qualify for Medicaid then your best bet is probably to find a part time job (or a new full time job) that offers health insurance benefits.
Call Social Services and apply for Medicaid.
