All Hawaii hospitals have outreach workers to assist individuals who have no health insurance.These workers will help you to apply for state medical coverages thru QUEST or Medicaid Fee-For-Service and do all the verbal contact with the state for you until you have health coverages.Check out their sites,these are the (2)I got from calling the hospitals for advice.They just referred me to the agency.

The cost of living in Hawaii is High PERIOD. Health Insurance is just another expensive thing in an expensive place. Obama will have a ton on his plate when he inherits the oval office in shambles. Sadly, i believe his attention will be on the Iraq situation and the financial markets. Yes Hawaii has the biggest instance of Chronic kidney Disease caused by diabetes, and my grandmother is one of those who needs to attend Dialysis 3 times a week and have this long needle stuck into her draining her physically, and at the end of the day shes drained to the point where she gets cramps at night. It’s terrible, but unfortunately not a major concern outside the state level.

Health insurance is expensive,ever tried to buy an individual plan,pay for that and go live on the beach.Prescriptions are outrageous,these seniors are having to make ends meet just to get meds.People are living longer & requiring more meds,more hospitalizations.Lets hope President Obama elect helps to minimize the hospital losses because medical care is a top priority.Diabetes in the paper is an epidemic or close to being one.Daily dialysis costs are expensive and the kidney list aint getting shorter.
