Hi Bobbie.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I will certainly keep her in my prayers. However, it is just fantastic that she has reached this age, with apparently good health. Hopefully, she is enrolled in one of the Medicare prescription plans, but as I know they do not pay for everything. Depending on the plan that one chooses, there can be as severe gap of $3000-$6000 after the first 4000 or 5000 is reached. And I was whining about paying $300 for one prescription -- that certainly puts a new face on reality. God bless.
