Medicare Will Not Pay For Hospital Mistakes And Infections, New Rule

Medicare Will Not Pay For Hospital Mistakes And Infections, New Rule:

Starting in 2009, Medicare, the US government's health insurance program for elderly and disabled Americans, will not cover the costs of "preventable" conditions, mistakes and infections resulting from a hospital stay. 

So for instance, if you are on Medicare and you pick up a hospital acquired infection while you are being treated for something that is covered by Medicare, the extra cost of treating the hospital acquired infection will no longer be paid for by Medicare. Instead, the bill will be picked up by the hospital itself since the rules don't allow the hospital to charge it to you.
Medicare NEEDS to hear from the patients and survivors of loved ones who have contracted Hospital acquired infections such as SEPSIS, etc. That's the only way to stop the deaths of our loved ones!!!
