Is there anyway for elders and children to receive free health care and if so how?


Its not for me personally but for them in the U.S.A.. a lot of the canidates are talking about health care but you have to pay for it

"Free" health care? No.
Elderly--Medicare:
In the US, Medicare is going bankrupt. In 1998, Medicare premiums were $43.80 and in 2008 will be $96.40--up 120%. "Medigap" insurance is common because of the 20% co-pay required for service. Medicare HMOs are common because they reduce that burden without an extra charge in many cases. HOWEVER, many procedures which used to have no or a low co-pay NOW cost the full 20% for the HMO Medicare patient. ALSO the prescription coverage they tended to offer has been REDUCED in many cases to conform to the insane "donut hole" coverage of the feds. Doctors are leaving Medicare because of the low and slow pay AND because the crazy government wants to "balance" their Ponzi scheme on the backs of doctors.
"That dark cloud lurking over the shoulder of every Massachusetts physician is Medicare. If Congress does not act, doctors' payments from Medicare will be cut by about 5 percent annually, beginning next year through 2012, creating a financial hailstorm that would wreak havoc with already strained practices.

Cumulatively, the proposed cuts represent a 31 percent reduction in Medicare reimbursement. If the cuts are adjusted for practice-cost inflation, the American Medical Association says Medicare payment rates to physicians in 2013 would be less than half of what they were in 1991."

"Poor" children: SCHIP
check each state.

yes london

Elders if of age can qualify for medicare.

Children in most states qualify for special childrens low-cost insurance that is based on family income.

I suggest you contact the Department of Aging and/or Area on Aging, and the department of family services in your state.

The web link below should allow you to seek out the proper medical forms and insurance qualifications to apply for state health coverage in your area. It is different from state-to-state, so make sure you indicate your location when applying for coverage. Most states offer free or low-cost health coverage to the elderly and to families with children as long as they qualify under the income limitations. Good luck!

In the U.S. there are programs for kids medical coverage. In Florida it's called Florida Kids and in Arkansas it's ArkKids. Many States have these programs.
