[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 440284, member: 1514"] Steely...I have several thoughts on this. On the medicaid issues. I dont know if either Matt or you are eligible for Medicaid at this point because I cant remember exactly his age and I know you are somewhere in your 40s I believe. Now in most states (except the more progressive ones) federal medicaid only covers certain categories of people and I believe that if you hit 19 then you cant get medicaid anymore unless you have kids or you are deemed disabled. That would also be the problem for you. Now some states have a state program that fills in this issue which is great but I havent lived in any of those states. I know NY does and I think CA does...maybe OR does. I hope so. Seems like the West Coast is more progressive so that might be hopeful. Now as far as the trip, I would do it at one time...no doubt about it. Try and trim your belongings too at this point if you are up for it. It may make the new start easier if you arent dragging everything with you. I would help Matt a bit but dont do everything for him. He needs to do as much as he can for himself. Hand him a phone book and tell him to start calling doctors and whatnot. He really can do this. Give him a file folder to keep himself organized. [/QUOTE]
