It would be through Medicaid/Medicare or the VA system.

if it was VA i think "US Military Service" would be somewhere on OP's timeline! haha.

but even Medicare ... vast majority of ligament surgery is often deemed 'elective'. like pancreas removal, sure, thats a life threatening condition. but rotator cuff surgery?

i can hardly get my insurance to pay for an MRI to see if i NEED rotator cuff surgery...

I actually meant Medicaid. The coverage with Medicaid is dependent on the state. In California you can potentially get the same coverage as a patient with an employed-sponsored plan.
