Thanks Christa. You are so kind. Mine is just free. This my retirement. If you want to support a particular writer their page should have a pledge button
The rules on what is covered are not the same. Example - Medicare Part A does not have a copay for hospitalization for (I think) 60 days. Most Advantage plans charge a copy for the first 3 or so days. Note that over 90% of all hospitalizations are 3 days or less.
Again, you are correct. Three are a lot of situations where additional time in a facility would advance health but patients are sent home to try and manage on their own. BTW - not that way in Europe. - there the care is patient centric - not money centric. Welcome to the soapbox - there is plenty of room.

This webinar was hosted by Physicians for a National Health Plan that discusses the problem in detail. The title was “How Private equity Makes us Sicker” At this link below you can find the webinar, transcript and slideshow package.

Also what do so called insurance brokers get to sign you up for an advantage plan? I heard around 700 dollars.
But yep, they say they are under the same rules as Medicare but just try and get stroke care at a skilled nursing home.
And if they can they would much rather send you straight to a SNF or home with IV antibiotics than the hospital.
Excuse me, soapbox here!
