Medicaid

Today we thought we'd bite the bullet and hoof down to Medicaid - we were told that you have to get there before 7am (the office opens at 7:30am) to get a number and wait, wait, wait...

We got there at around 6:30am, and we were already number 50!
It was such a weird system, they'd call everyone out, one by one just to check in.. Geoff needed his social security card and drivers licence with him.

Then we had to take a seat again, and waited three hours just to make an appointment! In the meantime, there were babies crying, drug addicts coming in, a fast vendor singing and prancing around and an abusive man that pounded on the window when he wasnt being served fast enough. And I thought we at Vicroads had it tough!

My advice: bring a book, PLENTY of snacks and drinks and learn to drown out all the commotion.

NOW - the earliest appointment that they had available was a month and half away, and Geoff needs to bring all his documents and ID...then, once they approve that he's eligible, he will need to go to another office, and pick up his Medicaid card. Phew!
