My sister has copd and has been in and out of the hospital a lot this year. Her insurance is medicare, which is what I have as well these days. So she has been in the hospital and stays until medicare decides she is well enough to leave. I have never thought that she was mistreated or that enough was not done, but they do rush her out of the hospital, when I think she needs more care.

So when medicare decides to stop paying the doctors send her home. So tell me how the hell are they going to save billions without cutting off those payments even earlier. And how the hell is cutting off payments not rationing health care. It can only get worse if the government goes into the health care business.
