I’ve not seen the type of medical alert bracelet Roberta is referring to, but I am sure it is good.  I would like to point out what I think is just a typo in her post - the $40 or whatever the fee is, is an ANNUAL fee - not monthly.  And, you can update information as often as you like - on line or on the phone.  We have never had to rely on it in an emergency, but when I have called to make changes, they always answer very promptly and pull up her information in seconds.  Just another option.
