I'm a 49 year old widow with 3 teenage children, and no medical insurance. I can't be declared a disabled widow till I'm 50 - have to be one or the other. With bad advice, I chose to be a widow (officially, I mean) so that my kids would also get Social Security benefits - but this meant I was not eligible for medicare. What a mix up .. Well in 6 more months I'll be 50 , so hopefully something will work out. But meantime what about all those others out there? So keep up the good work, and if I can be of any help........ Hilary Blue
