My mom has regular Medicare with an AARP United Healthcare supplement so it's not the insurance that's the problem. It's those Medicare Part C HMOs and PPOs that deny care so she's not signed up for that. The problem is the hospital administration wants the Medicare patients out ASAP. They make less money treating Medicare patients than treating younger patients with private insurance that pays more. I've heard Medicaid patients get booted out here faster too for the same reason. Also the fact that she's older and sicker gets used against her in general as well.
