Answer by Flower
You have to look in the book Medicare and You 2010 to see what plans are available to choose from in your region. The Part D benefit is the same for every health plan under Advantage. It is just what Medicare will reimburse. You wont know until you get a prescription filled. You could call these insurance plan and ask about that particular medication.

Question by CQ: Residential psychiatric treatment for young adults in New England?
Treatment needed for an 18 year old suicidal girl with PTSD, anorexia/bulimia, drug and alcohol abuse, self-harm, depression, severe anxiety, and possibly borderline personality disorder.
Any suggestions of centers or hospitals in the Northeast, preferably in Massachusetts but not necessarily?
Thank you SO MUCH.

What to Do About My Mom?

Question by dollie: What to do about my mom?
My mom is forty-four. She got divorced from my abusive father, and he’s been in nursing school for the past five years and graduated this May(2008) . She really wasn’t around when she was in school, I pretty much raised myself, she was really depressed and couldn’t make ends meet. She was abusive to my brothers and I when we were younger, however now that we’re all bigger than her, she’s not. She’s still really depressed, and has always been pessimistic about her dying. She’s always been stressed and she’s had heart pappilations alot. She keeps saying she’ll probably die by the end of the year. Tonight she was nearly crying and apologizing about how me and my brothers have had such a horrible childhood, just saying how she wants to just “drop dead.” I’m really really worried about her. She has money now, but I really need to do something for her. Is there anywhere I can send her? Not like rehab, she doesn’t have a drug problem or alcohol addiction. I’m just lost on what to do. I want to help her before it’s too late. Please please please, help me and my family. I’m from Boston, so if anyone can recommendd ANY places at all to send her, please, let me know.

What Is the Best Neighborhood to Live in in Boston?

Question by Jessica: What is the best neighborhood to live in in Boston?
What is the best neighborhood to live in in Boston? I’m 15, I live up in NH, and am way more independent then I should be. (I am not having sex, using drugs or drinking.) Obviously, I’m not old enough to get my own apartment in Boston yet (or anywhere,) but I like to plan ahead, even if these plans aren’t definite.

I want to know which neighborhood would be safest for an 18 yr-old girl, would have a good atmosphere, be CLEAN, and not extremely expensive. (i.e. shops, rent, food.)
