>>You may have missed it, but I've said a couple of times that I think someone like Allen...a double cancer victim....should perhaps be eligible for SS disability which would put him on Medicare. Since he can work, the earnings threshhold should be increased. Morally and economically speaking, I think someone like Allen should be able to work if he can, as much as he's able, and still have full Medicare benefits underneath him.<<

Kate -

You may have missed the news of my most recent cancer diagnosis, which I got in August. So I'm a triple winner now. ;-)

In fact, I am on SS disability, but I will not qualify for Medicare unless I remain unable to work until September of 2010.

I agree with you that when I'm able to work, I should be able to do so without affecting Medicare eligibility. Or rather, whether I "should" be eligible for Medicare or not, it would be tremendously helpful to me, and might make the difference between declaring bankruptcy or not.

- Allen
