I am disabled an am on medicare so I have forgotten a lot about regular insurance. Is there a stop loss on your plan or one of those horrible limits? A stop loss would be wonderful but I don't think most plans have them anymore.

One of my good friends goes to City of Hope. They have helped her as they have helped under insured and non insured for years. She has started radiation for pain. We shouldn't have anyone worry about the cost of treating cancer. The patient and family should be putting all of their efforts into beating the disease.
