Six Million Dollar Web Page Two: Helping Families Needing Help with Medical Bills

Advertisers on this page are helping families with some pretty extraordinary medical bills.  This group flies under the radar for many funding opportunities.  I work at UAMS managing their websites and I see numerous requests for people seeking medical help without the finances or the insurance to help cover the costs for the procedures and/or medications they need. 

As the UAMS webmaster, I am a business and computer guy.  I can not dispense medical advice, treat patients or prescribe medicines.  I can, however, send people to the right place to help them get financial assistance or help them find which physician or clinic can help them.  The sad truth is that there is much more need than there are resources available to help. 

Despite my best intentions at UAMS, there is only so much I can do.  With the assistance of my wife, family, friends, co-workers and like-minded advertisers, this website gives me an opportunity to help more directly.  I am firmly convinced that this is an epidemic that is sweeping the country at this time.  It may not be an illness or disease without cure or vaccination, but it can be devastating to many people just the same.  With the cost of insurance continually going up as well as the cost of medical care, I do not see this problem going away any time soon.  This group became the next choice for help through the site:  families that needed help with medical bills.  As with the first group, we would provide the assistance on a direct basis to families that submit application for aid to us as we can provide aid from advertising revenue through the site.
