    I am currently on my work’s health insurance plan, and it is supplemented by Medicaid. It seems like that is really unhelpful. I am attempting to apply for Medicare. My sister is on thst and gets a lot of benefits from it!

    What is your health insurance plan, whether you are in the US or outside of it? Do you find it helpful for those with FA?

    *Please don’t make this a political argument.*

      Maybe I am confused, but I thought that the point of Medicare is that the government covers its cost. If you don’t mind, are they asking you to pay a huge amount?

    Im in southern California and my health insurance is IEHP. It has been very helpful for me and my FA diagnosis.
