Reply #3: Get a reporter to call someone high up in MediCare;

[Liberty Belle]

you might get a different answer. Or call back yourself, not a low-level number, look up the media relations number for MediCare if they have one, and tell them you're going to hold a press conference on the hospital steps if they won't pay a more reasonable portion of your bills.

Also contact your Senator and Congressional representatives and get them to pressure Medicare for you, and urge them to reform the laws.


While this could be the newest Bush method to deny people help, it could also just be a lazy bureaucrat or local office with idiotic rules.

The squeaky wheels are the only ones getting any grease these days in the healthcare system.
