So, it is going to be difficult to prove fraud by UHC and our local Villages Health Care. The Advantage plans DECIDE when a patient goes home , not the Doctor. So, the Advantage plans have a vested interest in getting a patient out of the hospital as soon as possible. In a rehab facility the Advantage rehab Nurse decides when to cut off the Advantage payments, NOT the Doctor. I wonder about the complexity of the US system that depends on the insurance companies. I wonder if the National Health Care systems used by Canada and all other 1st world counties are not less complex and therefore BETTER. I understand that the US system costs much more than the Canadian system on a per patient basis. Also, the US V.A. system is much like Canada's national system and the US V.A. system keeps drug costs down.
