DH is on Medicare now since 7/2011. Is now having some issues that need to be looked into. Bottom line is we're broke. Have cashed in all retirement, pensions, etc and filed bankruptcy. I've attempted search to find assistance or policy to help with co-pays, etc. Particularly concerned about scans and costs since I don't see where Medicare pays any of that. How does one continue to get treatment? Thanks for any info.
