When you're trying to get the gov't to pay for any of your expenses, it helps to know the system well. I certainly sign up for whatever benefits I'm legally allowed to have. It's too bad we give so much money to the gov't in taxes that we feel like we're left holding the bag if we can't get our expenses paid for by taxpayer dollars. I pay every tax I'm legally required to, so I sign up for every benefit I'm legally allowed.

Don't get left with a large medical bill because you didn't know this. We have to look out for those we care about so they aren't victims of the system. Forewarned is forearmed. More detailed info is at: http://www.forbes.com/sites/insidepatien...
