Husband owned own co and it paid his med bills and car expenses now he is an amputee in a skilled facility with long term ins they don't pay for anything. The son lives nicely and says he gives dad a salary and he doesn't need to pay. The dad has a trust for his adult kids when he passes but I'm second wife and attorney won't talk to me. And he hasn't passed. I have medical bills and car expenses and car insurance to keep up which the company paid for. He is on hospice (after MRSA and two amputations) and mild dementia. How can I get the company to pay for these expenses which they always did?
Of course Dad is hopping mad... well, Dad, welcome to MY world... he and Mom should be thankful they had free health care since the 1940's with some very low co-pays if any.
FreqFlyer, while it is becoming more rare, there are many companies that do continue medical insurance into disability and retirement. Both my spouse and I have such coverage and both of our Moms and 3 aunts did as well.
