Waiting List? - Sometimes a state has a waiting list people have to stay on until spaces become available. Check to see if there is a waiting list for the program by contacting them directly. According to NASTAD's most recent ADAP Watch several states have a waiting list. You may need to try a Patient Assistance Program or apply for Medicaid or Medicare or private insurance. Do not ever drop your private insurance without first seeing if your state will cover part or the whole premium, especially if you have children.
