Is Medicare better than my private insurance?

[Snidely Whiplash]

Koolau, thanks for the insight ref: prescription issues. I plan on contacting our states SHIP counselors and maybe a private insurance agent or two. The facility where my wife receives the bulk of her treatment has been wonderful with regard to her cancer treatment and care. Everything else, not so much. I was surprised at the lack of help the social workers were. But that's another story. I guess I just need to resign myself to the fact that costs are going to increase and do what I have to do.

MRG, I guess that is at least a little light at the end of the tunnel.

Last year at 54 my wife revived SS disability and was automatically enrolled in Medicaid. I am still working and have a good medical plan. Fearing losing coverage options from my employer for DW due to a gov plan - we immediately dropped the Medicaid.

We live in Florida.
