Most here I sure know about this and ask the right question.
It's sad that the hospitals don't do the right thing for us seniors.

Prior to being a Medicare enrollee, I was admitted to the hospital because they knew what I needed. My insurance stated I needed to be placed on observation first. Because I was not, insurance didn’t want to pay. Hospital took care of it and they got their money
