Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."

 

Yes, Medicare is individual as far as I know. You could call Medicare and ask if there are any exceptions, but to the best of my knowledge there are not. Take care,
Carol

Carol is correct. Medicare is an individual benefit. Each will pay $99 per month for Part B in 2012.
