I am so sorry to hear of your illness and hope you find great medical care here.

There are some issues such as do you have any savings, income, as you may be able to get on Medicaid. You may also qualify because of your medical issues and if it prevents you from working.

I would move up here first so that you can have a MA address. Can you stay with family, or get your own place? Since MA mandates health insurance, you should talk with someone at the heath connector to get an idea of what you qualify for. They will be able to give you the information you need, and if there is any residency requirements, could you afford paying for health insurance for a year? The health connector should be able to pro-rate policies based on income.

I would also get any health diagnosis in writing from your current doctor as you may need to provide proof of illness. Please be aware that sometimes Medicaid plays hardball, and may deny coverage, but that does not mean that you cannot appeal and usually with the right documents most people get accepted.

This sounds like a lot of work, so I hope family is able to help. Stay strong.
