My mother had traditional Medicare, but the system failed badly. She had dementia when she fell and broke her hip. She spent 3 days at the hospital before being transferred to a rehab facility, but she was not officially in the hospital for three days. Medicare refused to pay anything for rehab, and her secondary insurance refused to pay anything because of the decision by Medicare. If ever a patient needed a rehab facility, it was my mother. I was forced to pay out of pocket for a month of rehab, and that would not occur with Medicare Advantage.
