19. Glad it has worked for someone. My sister fell and had a stroke and her Adv plan limited her treatment terribly.

And it was a constant struggle to get approvals before care to the point of delaying recovery and increasing her physical suffering and the whole families emotional suffering having to watch it all. I suppose like any other insurance product there are good companies and bad companies and I suspect she and her husband bought more on cost than quality and unfortunately paid for that. You have been through a lot and I wish you the best and an ongoing recovery.
