(1,885 posts)But, what I have been told is that the biggest places it saves money is on skilled nursing days. That can't be all. I had a 95 year old neighbor who paid a supplement her whole retired life and rarely was sick. But with age comes falling. With falling comes hospitalizations. With hospitalization comes discharges. I kept telling her she could save money by switching to managed care. She did change plans that year. They sent her home too soon and everything that followed paved her way to an early death, she could have lived to 100. Insurance companies don't want us to live to 100. I've been kicking myself ever since.
But, I still have it. They have only denied a couple of meds for me. But they must be royally messing with enough people for a young man to throw his life away by taking revenge on the CEO. If we had national healthcare this and Medicaid/Medicare cuts would be a non-issue.
