Healthcare for the uninsured?

We live in Independence, MO. We were both unemployed at the time in March when my wife took a spill and tore her rotator cuff, dislocated her shoulder and tore lendons. I took her to Truman Medical center e.r. 3 times. They did nothing, xrays no pain meds...nothing. WHY? not poor enough for medicaid I was unemployed for 6 months. I just got a job and didnt qualify for health insurance yet, when i did qualify it costs' $190.00 a week. just for the basic plan I make $$$.00 a week. just enough for the two of us to survive. She would be working if this didnt happen. believe me it's a waste of $$. plus she would not be covered under the preexisting clause. I know I know those of you who believe the insurance co. cannot do that, you don't know and those of you who buy the crap about "just walking into the emergency room, they have to treat you" That's bull Too! she has'nt slept in MONTHS I mean MONTHS since this happened. She is in CONSTANT PAIN! The dr.s at truman hospital just give her the run around. I know how this works. No Insurance, Basic life sustaining treatment. No Insurance? Your screwed unless you have your (border pass) believe me we are not homeless ignorant living off the state people. We are in our 50's have always worked and paid into medicaid. We are stuck in the middle, called the working poor! work enough to survive but cannot afford health insurance. So now she is getting nothing biut the run around and mistreatment, MISTREATMENT!! by Truman Medical Center Hospital Hill. So, Who do I need to see are talk to? It's interesting people like us are stereotyped. I've always worked, she was a medical assistant for years and ran a Dr.'s office, she used to work at Truman. My late wife passed away 4 yrs. ago after Truman Hospital told me "there's nothing we can do" and discharged her. WHO DO I NEED TO TALK TO??? My congressman, Senator, Obama? The newspapers, who, a lawyer. I have never seen people treated this way American Citizens. This is absurd. We have a whole story about this Healthcare Treatment of her since March 2011.
