I suffer from COPD which is quite severe. I currently have a respiratory infection on top of that and I believe that it's going into pneumonia. I have medicaid for the medically needy on a share cost basis which requires me to pay the first $743.00 per month for medical bills before medicaid will pick up the tab on the rest. I draw $943.00 in social security and by the time I pay my rent, utilities, food and laundry cost and car insurance and fuel I don't really have any money left over. I'm going to the doctor today for treatment and I think he's going to advocate home oxygen so I was trying to determine if I can get assistance with that. Please advise me of any beneficial options available that would help my situation. Thank you very much and God Bless. Sincerely, Charles P.

My husband's insurance and medicare paid for the hospice. He died at 101. Mind still very sharp. And a wonderful sense of humor. He was not a veteran.
