My friend Madison has been through the mill with his health. Active all his life but drew a short straw with genetics. Had his colon removed in his 40's Hip replacement in his 50's. Retired early in his 60's then had to have major surgery for a huge benign tumor that required removing part of his pancreas, his gall bladder, duodenum part of his stomach and God knows what else. Now it's endocrine tumors throughout his liver. Fortunately kept in limbo with monthly injections.
All this has compromised his finances. Had to sell his car and now his home he can't keep up property taxes on. He'll have to sell. It has a large yard that's too big to maintain.

So, I and another friend help out. Part of his network I guess. The kicker is our healthcare system. It's cost and the insurance industry that compromises people both physically through denial of benefits and financially through keeping up premiums.
At least now he's on Medicare. Traditional Medicare that you pay a monthly premium above and beyond the part B. It does well covering everything if you can afford it. But the new Advantage system being pushed on retiree's is a major rip-off by the insurance industry and the government to limit Medicare costs.
Take heed.
