And don't trust medicare to help you out. Last year I paid $18,000 of non covered expenses even though I had a doctor's prescription for it. Medicare decided I didn't really need it. I got a little bit of it back at tax time $4,000.
It's wonderfully strange when one section of government says NO (Medicare) and another section (Tax bureau) says we'll pay part of it.
