EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
She is 91 years old, dressed in a hospital gown, her hands cuffed. Arrested for armed robbery. The judge couldn't believe his eyes.
Helen and her husband George, 88, have been married for 65 years. He suffers from severe heart failure and needs daily medication to survive. They live on a fixed pension and struggle to make ends meet. Last month, their supplemental insurance expired because they couldn't afford the payments.
When Helen went to pick up her prescription, the bill wasn't $50, as usual. It came to $940. She left empty-handed.
