Where can I go to get help with medical and prescription costs for my Dad?

He has been with me since the 90's and is now getting to the point of my husband & I spending more on med/prescriptions for my father than trying to save for our own retirement. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

If your dad hasn't got enough assets to pay his medical bills he likely qualifies for Medicaid. Please check with your Social Services right away since approval takes time.
Good luck,
Carol

How old is your father? If he is over 65 and lives in the US, Medicare Part D should cover most of his prescription costs. Part B should cover many of his other costs. If he needs more than Medicare, he may qualify for Medicaid, as Carol talked about. Let us know a bit more about him and someone may have some other ideas.
