Janet, I am so sorry to hear about your husband's new diagnosis; he has already been through so much. I don't know abut Medicaid, but you have to be on Social Security Disability for 2 years until you are eligible to go on Medicare. This is as far as I know, unless it has changed with Obamacare. I think it depends on what type of Medicare coverage one has as to whether or not they pay for the IV drugs and SCT. I would think, though, that he would be awarded SSD pretty rapidly; I only had to wait 6 weeks on my first and only attempt for severe heart failure.
