Sue; Try one of the Center for the Independence of the Disabled. I was able

to be advised through a senior citizens group; so you might try those too.

The person I saw gave me pages of medigap suppliers, what they offer and the

cost. The advice was free.

Sue K.

If you have Medicare and under no insurance plan and separated from your

husband, you should also be entitled to Medicaid from SSA. Since you are low

income and only have your SSD check to live on you should be able to get

this. Check with social security. Or check with a social worker when you get

settled in to where you decide to move.

Sincerely, S.
