The estimate for the BMT is 433k?. Sounds low...One thing that I've noticed having cared for 2 elderly parents is that Medicare will pay incredible amounts of money to buy some time for an 85 year old, even more than that. So, when it comes to giving you the chance for 20 years its a bargain compared to the money they spend to prolong the lives of the very elderly, 85 and up.
