why is it so difficult for young parkinsons victims to get financial assistance when older retired people can receive very good help with medical bills? my husband has pd and we are both in our 70s.there is so much available to us yet the young pd,s soon lose their income and medical insurance and have little help in managing medical costs against raising a family. since there is no cure at this time there should be some way to give these young adults a way to keep their families from falling to a poverty level through no fault of their own. sincerely connie tate p.o.box 1220 cedar glen ca.92321
