yes, he does have medicare. i mentioned hospice to my mom tonight and

she said they only offer that when they're on their death bed. like

in the last 6 months of their lives. because my gpa refuses to go to

the hospital, there's no telling how close to death he really is :-/

Tell her to check with them anyway. With his history and what's going on

now, they still may say he qualifies. It certainly can't hurt, and rally

could help them both.
