6. You must be close to my daughter's age...

She is 25 and thankfully covered through our insurance because
this has been a TERRIBLE year for us medically.

My question is, what happens when she turns 26?

I am thinking seriously of getting her on disability, because she is
a LONG way from being able to make it on her own, and I shudder
at the thought of her out there in the world not being able to
get the meds she needs to have some quality of life.

My fear fantasy goes like this-
What will happen to her if something happens to her dad or me...
The thought scares me to death sometimes.
The only preventative measure I can see is to apply for disability.
She qualifies, without a doubt.
