I have been struggling for awhile now. I was accepted for Medicaid and wanted to leave my mother's insurance plan as a dependent. I am only 23 years old but my mother is trying everything she can to keep me on it for some reason. I have very low income so I cannot pay for medical expenses (visits, prescriptions, etc.). I have been suffering from chronic depression for awhile now and my mother is trying to control what I can and cannot be prescribed. She is against medications and believes I should live like this without an antidepressant. I was prescribed Wellbutrin 100mg a day about a month ago. My mother would not allow me to refill it because she thinks I was "getting high" on it. I had some withdrawal symptoms and added to her idea that it was a narcotic. I applied for Medicaid and was accepted and told them that even though I live with my mother still, I do have to come up with money on my own. My mother has been telling me that if I leave the insurance she will go in debt because she already enrolled me for this year. I really need to get off of her insurance but I also do not want her to go in debt if that is true (I couldn't find out if it's even true). But at the same time I do not want something to happen to me for being on Medicaid and a private insurance. Medicaid would have to be my secondary provider if I stayed on my mother's insurance. Medicaid being my only insurance, would cover a lot more of my medical expenses to a point that I can afford. My mother's insurance would barely cover anything so I would be stuck not being able to pay for a doctors visit or prescription. Someone please help me with this dilemma.
