Where do i go to ask for help due to physical deformities when the sate won't help?

I am 34 years old. I have almost no teeth. My jobs have been such that I have not been able to get insurance. I was married for 12 years and my ex husband i refused to put me on his insurance. I have a disease that causes my bones especially my teeth to be like chalk. I applied for medi-cal in my home state of California. They told me that they could not insure me unless my husband was on it too. He has insurance and refused to comply. Now I am divorced and was told that because i had custody of my children that the only way I could get it is if my kids were on it, and if the state went after my ex for payment. My kids are on Healthy Families a differnt program that my ex and I share the cost for,. So even though my nouth is at a life threatening state and I am having trouble getting a job because they are al rotted out of my damned head, the state won't help me. Is there another place I can go to for help before I die?

I know nothing about insurance but I suggest a welfare office. Sometimes welfare caseworkers can assist in the proper channels. The only other thing I can think of is a benevolent talk show!
