I can tell you from my experience with my Mom is that she just did not go to the
DR. for 2 years. She now had medicade and medicare. It is a pain in the butt.
They dont leave you with any other option.

Hi everybody, I haven't posted in a while because I've been terribly busy. Was
hoping you could help me sort out the confusion of managing Disabililty for
someone with HD

My Aunt has been diagnosed with HD and is currently (barely) holding a simple
job. Her doc told her she can go on Disability whenever she wants at this
point. If she goes on Disability, she has to wait 4 months with no income (how
is she supposed to do that?) and then he SSD starts. Then she doesn't get any
medical benefits until she waits two years.

My question is this.

What is the best option while she waits those 2 years. COBRA would be a fortune
and an indiv policly would also........what do people do?????

Hey karl
You're safe. There's no HD in your family, so you can't get it. If you
ever need to talk though, feel free to contact me. By the way, where are you
from? I'm in jersey. Hooray for the garden state. :)
