75. I know how you feel.
Hubby is waiting until his kidneys fail, and then he can get disablility and dialysis. But he is not "disabled" until they fail. With his diabetes I doubt he would qualify for a transplant.

Right now they say he "could" work part-time; as if someone with severe edema in their feet and legs could work at all. He has to rest a lot just to get through the day.

We had to get spend down our assets to qualify for CMSP/MediCal so his doctor visits, lab tests and medicines would be covered. Now we live on $18K/yr. and are going to file for bankruptcy soon.
