Re: He
Even if they do, a specialist of the type the OP needs most likely would not be covered. If it were covered, only a small portion would be covered and most likely the full extent of the services he needs would not be covered. Specialists in the US usually need to be paid up front if there is no insurance and if the service is covered, any difference that isn't covered needs to be paid before services are rendered.

Re: He
I'm not sure how other states are, but WI takes care of poor people, to be honest. I've been unemployed since August last year and have been sucking the gub'ment teat, so to speak. BadgerCare has taken very good care of me, save for the few prescriptions they haven't covered, namely heartburn medication.
Having said that, it would seem that only the desperately poor and the wealthy have access to decent care. I just recently had to take my old lady to the ER and the number of people in there who seemed to just have the sniffles or flu was astounding. No bullet wounds, no knives protruding from their forehead, no arms bent every which way: just some people who *appeared to be feeling a touch under the weather.
*I fully understand these individuals could have more serious issues, I'm just saying how it looked.

Re: He
I have some now. The cheap Walmart/Walgreens/Shopko stuff does work for me, but I have to ingest copious amounts: 2 150mg tabs, twice a day at least and I still get heartburn. The same goes for branded Zantac. The best I've found thus far (at least for me) has been Prevacid. Up until the past couple weeks, I've been able to take 1 pill every 2-3 days and be fine and barely get heartburn, let alone the indigestion that comes with it. However, I've not been able to find off brand Prevacid that works as well and Prevacid is fucking expensive. Hopefully my new job will have a flex-fund option....
