You might try to get in touch with United Health Care about their supplentary plans. I think they have varying plans and the costs vary as well. There may be something that you CAN afford. It's unacceptable that you have to live this way.

Hope you get some help with this. Even if it lessens the worry and anxiety you must be experiencing now...

best of luck to you and your wife
