In order to help you make informed decisions regarding your health care, this section provides resources on patient rights and long-term care. You'll find articles on planning ahead for medical care, reading the fine print on prescription medication bottles, evaluating online health information, determining whether you need long-term care insurance, understanding the medical marijuana laws in your state, and more.
