This is Howie, I am 63, living on a SSD income..wife is 58 and has NO
health Ins, cant get SSI, cant get ANYTHING til she is 60 ? 62 ? 65 ?
she did not work long enough to get any SS, Medicare or any help...I
have PCA and will have Robotic removal..6 0n Gleason 3+3... We have
over 4000 in medical bills on my wife which we are having problems
paying on. God knows how many more bills we will have after all this
Can..crap..I have Medicare and Medicaid..My problem..Wife and I both
have many medical problems and she seems to think nothing of my haing
Cancer and keeps bugging me to get us a house (We rent now in a senior
complex..cheap rent)...cant make her understand that a house is not
feeseable(Spelling?)..if I kicked the bucket she would be out in the
streets, probably can not get Mortgage life Ins, If I could it would
cost a bundle. Even a cheap house would rn 500 a month plus utlities and
upkeep etc..who does the upkeep if I cant do it any longer?..see what I
am up against ? Any Lawyers, Counselers, Realtors out there that can
advise us? Our rent here is based on age, medical bills HUD I think? All

included...any advise apreciated and dont mind my spelling..web tv skips
