And kill people. My father in law was killed by a Medicaid Advantage company canceling his skilled nursing. They admitted to doing it routinely. “You just have to call and appeal” only while his skilled nursing was denied the nursing facility “downgraded his care” which apparently means “we’ll park you in a hallway till this gets sorted”. He was in the ER within 72 hours of being discharged from the hospital. ER doctor said “cardiac arrest due to low electrolytes” the man was on an IV. Know how low electrolytes happens when you’re on an IV? They don’t fill the bag. Why didn’t they fill the bag? Downgraded from skilled nursing. Know why he was downgraded? Because his claim was denied. What was it denied? “They’re all denied. You have to call and appeal”
This country is so fucked. Our plan for elder care is to literally kill them with paperwork.
