Hi- I'm unsure if this is the right place to post this, so please direct me to other subreddits that you think might be able to help me better if there are any.
My dad is struggling with a lot of medical conditions that are only becoming more urgent and serious. He is unemployed at the moment because his medical conditions prevent him from doing so. He desperately needs medical care, and we have not been successful in getting him Colorado's Medicaid program (Health First Colorado). We have submitted all the necessary documents for his application and it has been left unprocessed for 6 months now. We've called numerous times and every call has been unproductive. They say that processing has been slow recently because they are still dealing with the consequences of the pandemic, but I feel that this long of a wait is ridiculous.
For reference I am 19 y/o and studying comp sci at my university. My family is lower middle class and certainly cannot pay any medical expenses out of pocket. I was considering starting a go fund me for my dad, but I'm not sure how effective that would be. I just don't know what to do, and I am looking for anything that can help my dad or his situation. Any resources would be greatly appreciated. Again I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this. I'm feeling very powerless and desperate at the moment.
