Critical Illness

Cancer, Stroke, and Heart Attacks are three of the Major Illnesses encountered by individuals on Medicare.

The costs can be significant, and not always covered by Medicare. There can also be "hidden" additional costs, such as traveling to and from the Dr. or Hospital for treatment, and sometimes overnight stays at a hotel.  

Then there are the prescriptions which can also be quite costly and require significant out of pocket expense no matter which drug plan you have.
