I had to fight tooth and nail to get them to cover her expenses. My state has a great insurance commissioner and i had to contact him to get Genworth to pay. Toward the end they did pay.

Look at it this way: if you get this you will need someone to advocate for you with the insurance company when you are older. You would probably not be able to do it yourself.
