Croniemomx, if you don't have money do you have insurance of any kind???? (including Medicaid) For the 45 million Americans with no insurance at all, I can almost guarantee you they would not get good care for Crohn's or any other chronic illness, unless they were so disabled by the illness that they couldn't work at all and could qualify for disability. Even with that it takes an average of two years to obtain Medicare with Social Security Disability insurance. What is that chronically ill person supposed to do for two years? My answer is that they suffer and get worse, use the ER when they are desperate, and get sub-standard care. We have great doctors, and medical facilities in America...but sadly, not for everyone!!!!
