Medicare is different from Medicaid. Medicaid is for basically destitute people. It's like SSI which is considered welfare because it comes out of the general tax fund. So I think the way patients are treated is a lot different and the hospitals are reimbursed differently(less).
We pay for Medicare our working lives, like SSDI. I guess to the people who thrive on money, we're more cost effective and legit to save. Shame.
