I was wondering if my medical card would pay to fix my hernia and cut extra skin off?

Carrie 38
I have terrible, deep stretch marks on my belly all the way up past my belly button. I have ALOT of extra skin! I also have a up an down c-section scar. And i have a hernia by my belly button. It hurts so, so bad! It feels like all the extra skin on my belly pulls on my hernia! It hurts when I wear jeans. Sometimes I just sit an cry! I was wondering if my medical card ( MD physicians care ) would pay to get the hernia fixed an cut off my extra skin?
