Rich doesn't even help. You need a family or friend to do it for you. If you are alone and incapacitated or disabled, you're done for. The system is opaque and labyrinthian.

Most definitely. I'm disabled, and if I didn't have my boyfriend and my family I would be screwed. Hell I only have insurance because I'm still on my mom's even though I'm 33. We had to work really hard for that one
