Hi!
I am looking for help/advice choosing a Medicare Health and Prescription Drug Plan that would best-suit someone with MS.

I would love to hear from other folks and if there are resources on this site for that, maybe someone could direct me there?

This is for my loved-one. He is 44 years old, and has now become disabled from MS. He is receiving Soc Sec Dis, and is on Copaxone. Also, we are in the State of Pennsylvania, if that matters.

Anything advice at all would be appreciated. I already looked at the medicare site and just got even more confused.

Thank you.

Welcome to the site nolagirl and I'm sorry about the situation you and your loved one find yourself in.

Those are pretty location specific, situation specific questions but hopefully someone will be able to help you out.

Bob

Thank you Lyon.

I hope to hear from more members that have gone through this process with choosing a medicare plan.

It's a crime that something so necessary is so complicated, and when you have an illness, it makes it even harder to deal with the craziness of the program.
