If you have no health insurance, have a chronic problem with your knees, ankles, and elbow and are unable work

My son is 36 and has gout in several joints which makes it impossible for him to work during each episode. (His joints swell up and are extremely painful.)He has no health insurance since he just started working at a new job. This job requires him to do repetitive and physically demanding work as a furniture technician. He has a learning disability but has some college education and no degree. He has tried so many different direction as far as employment but usually he finds he can't do the work for health reasons. Does anyone know if he would qualify for disability or some program so that he could go back to college and get his degree.

Talk to the department of health and social services, they will be able to determine if he is eligible for medicaid, medicare, disability or social security
