Christine, I have applied at the hospital for either a reduced payment or what ever I would qualify for. I have also talked with the American Cancer Society. But so far I have not found any help in paying my Dr.'s what medicare doesn't pay. Thanks, Angel

Dr. Mike and Gary, I am so sorry to hear that both of your hearing is bad. My Mom wears hearing aids and she is constantly having to buy batteries for them. She paid about $4,000 for the hearing aids and I say they way overcharged her as they stay torn up half the time, need to be readjusted, or the batteries don't last but a few days at a time. They're the type that is supposed to self adjust but they don't work. Thank ya'll for the information as well. Angel
