Limbo is defined as an uncertain time. The decision is being waited on, and everything is in a condition of being unfinished. It is a theological term, but limbo is, in fact, a reality for many people who are in the critical care unit of a hospital. Limbo is a flat line definition of life. Patients who are on life support systems are in a holding pattern. They are neither fully dead or fully alive. A decision is being waited upon; the group legal plan can make things a lot easier for all parties if it includes medical powers of attorney.

The plan member also can name who will execute the instructions. It ordinarily falls to an individual who is highly trusted in these affairs. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services allows for drafting medical powers of attorney Continue reading

Medical Bills Can Be Handled

Deductibles and co-stockfresh_1097132_medical-chart_sizeS-300x300payments are not a problem to a healthy person. There is no great need to be concerned because health insurance is rarely used. However, accidents can happen and they do not always result in minor injuries. There are several circumstances where medical debt can pose a danger to financial wellness.
