@william1543 Oh my goodness, yes I hope you can get the help you need. Here is the Medicare Extra Help information. They do not have an asset cap, meaning eligibility is not based on how much $$ you have in savings or other assets. Many people are eligible for this without knowing about it. I hope it is helpful information for you:

Thank you, I will check into this if I need surgery, but I hesitate to have
this risky surgery done in a local hospital without the expertise of
performing extensive bowel surgery. A senior friend of mine had bowel
surgery about six weeks ago at a small local hospital and is now in a
nursing home with a feces collection bag until the intestine can hopefully
be reconnected at some future date. I am located about 75 miles from NYC
and the major hospitals that regularly do that type of surgery on a regular
basis. With no family, my options are limited. Hopefully, I will not need
the surgery, but the odds are not good, especially with limited finances
and the risks of traveling to NYC by mass transit. Please pray for me. God
Bless.
