A sixty year old gentleman, who works for a pest control company, comes to my home every other month to spray around the outside of the house to reduce the invasions of bugs. He was hospitalized from June 30 to July 4. He had a blood infection in one leg. The doctor wanted him to stay in the hospital another week. He wanted to go home and enjoy some vacation time. The doctor relented and he went home. He went back to work a week later and although the leg is sore he is recovering.
He was hospitalized for four nights. His medical insurance is denying him coverage for two nights. The insurance company contends that two nights care was sufficient time for his recovery.
Is this a case of rationing health care?
