Re: Can of Worms

What I really need to know from the people that have been there and done that is this. What are the advantages and disadvantages, my understanding is Mdcd will go back several years and pay existing bills. My concern is are there any treatments or procedures that Barb could be denied if on Mdcd or disability. I understand that all of this may be subject to drastic changes under the present administration.
