[QUOTE="TimeNot_0, post: 56387, member: 2671"] The reason here (USA) is because of the insurance costs. I just been in the hospital and all you will see probably are nurses (whom you can give your questions to instead of a doctor, if they even make a short visit just to see you) and perhaps interns dishing out their opinion. In my case I did not know what to do and next time I would take time to look up things on the Internet first to what I had, because I was not really told and tried to wish for more than what could actually happen. This to me ended up in costing more and not all the time do you know what questions to ask or feel good enough to even ask the important questions. In the end in this Country they (the government) wants more doctor's visits and preventive medicine to take place which with medicare they have you pay that monthly premium. Things happen that you can not always find out about right away especially with government websites about medicare and time to sign up for anything that would have helped. Not only is not an ambulance paid for with Medicare Part A (which is the hospitalization part only) but emergency room doctors or anything concerning a doctor is not paid for. I have to seek help because I was really sick with the flu that was not suppose be bad (concerning heart disease that fully was not taken care of before with another hospital or a second one the first hospital over 6 years ago) and did not know that I had more time to sign up for Medicare B part than what I really thought and did not find out on the Medicare.gov website. It is on the MyMedicare.gov website and I did not find out until later after the third hospital with this stuff going on of having a heart attack just over 6 years ago. You will probably have at least two doctors concurring to make a decision, will not see them particularly and only have like I said nurses come in and wonder perhaps what is really going on. If you are looking to be told a decision, you better decide first what question to ask the nurse and have them relay the message to the doctors right away. I did not, and now it is costing me to the point of having to seek help to pay for it. The charges are unbelievable to me and that is all I can say. I'm on a fixed income and had to retire early and because of that lost several hundred dollars more a month because of retiring early, and since they want to raise the retirement age and even the age at which medicare starts, a lot more people in the future will be losing out to me. Reducing costs would help but like I said they want your own local doctor to take over and prevent it in the first place if possible. I will and would not go to a hospital anymore but seek a doctor who may be able to help you unless he tells you you have to go to a hospital because crap happens in this world and so far I have little to say about the experience to me that is positive or to me will be in the future. Remember that some bad superbugs are happening in large cities hospitals and spreading out to other still local hospitals and spread around to any of the other hospitals yet, but it seems precautions are being taken in case these diseases would spread. Blah~! [/QUOTE]
