    • Close Medicare

      I have'nt settled my case.Just in from my lawyer:after repaying medicare for past payments,1/2 my net goes to medicare set-aside for future medical. So,finally its certain,my family can't live off settlement,even with wife working FT rest of life.(And I still need someone to care for me,while she works) Summary;Medicare takes 1/2 of net settlement & imposes $17,000/yr deductible,which I hope I will never reach. Apparently,Medicare is off hook to ever have to pay anything.May God Bless Those..
