18. You are wrong
People most definitely are claiming that only DK's plan is a health CARE plan, when the truth is, it provides no health CARE, just insurance. Just like the other plans.

And medicare turns down claims all the time. I've had it done to my mom on many occassions. It's happening right now. Medicare won't pay for my mother's care because they say it's not "medically necessary".

She's 76yo with dementia. She can't dress, eat, bathe or go to the bathroom without assistance. She is in danger of falling down at any second. She requires care 24/7 to stay alive but Medicare won't pay for it because it's too expensive and it's not medically necessary.

Instead of refusing claims to make money, Medicare refuses claims to save money. In the end, I'm screwed either way, so what difference does it make WHY they don't cover something, so long as they don't cover it? I'm just as screwed either way
