She then explained to the surgeon and nurse that she was a full time student with no health insurance being supported by a mother with 5 kids and low income, but she was told she could apply for an emergency medicare to cover the surgery. After the surgery she was referred to an agency that assist people apply for medicare but now she is being told her medicare will only cover future hospital visits and not the surgery. please advice
