Medicare helps, right?
Wrong! Medicare will only help for a specific amount of time (see below). Medicare will only pay benefits if you and your families assets are below the federal poverty level. These assets include your savings, home, college funds and other assets and investments.
Medicare benefit limits:
Medicare will cover 100% for the first 20 days. Then for the next 80 days they will pay all but $95 dollars. After the total of 100 days (20 + 80) Medicare WILL PAY NOTHING! Scary isn’t it?!
