Way better to hang out in the hospital and heal than be discharged to the street for sure. Stay put long enough and they might just find you some form of more stable housing.


That's what I say.

Yep...hopefully, the social workers would think it fitting for him to have at least an SRO-type place, if not something better than that.

...A person cannot indefinitely sit in at a hospital - Among other things they have plenty of security guards, who like to throw people out!

The guards won't throw out somebody who has a legit purpose there.

...If the hospital decides they want you out (and, leaving aside this whole thing of appealing a discharge from a hospital), their fuzz will throw you out.

Well yeah, of course.

If they discharge you, and you refuse to go, the "fuzz" would throw out anybody, even the President.

I'm hoping you have good insurance. Most hospitals charge around $10,000 a day for an extended stay. No, I'm not making that up.

...I'm at absolute poverty level - I do have some combination of?? Medicare/Medical/Medicaid - beyond what that will pay they can simply kiss my pink 'n' perky Caucasian ass if they hope to get any more than that. So I simply shrug :roll: .

I had to have a stent put into one of my heart arteries once, and there were some problems with that, requiring me to stay in the hospital 2 days. The bill for that alone was close to $20,000. Thats how I know. If you get some kind of disability they may try to go after that.

If he's on Medicaid, he doesn't have to pay anything.

...Yeah, I guess, regarding your and AB' s statement. I am reasonably, in a gruesome sense, fortunate that I am considered poor enough, on California's relatively generous MediCal system. to get at least - as it's worked out, so far - enough medical cap]re to stay alive and, anyway, not be as crippled as I might be otherwise :cry: .
I am moving away from suing " I'm lucky " because, ya know, I'm not that kdalthy as a t8-yr old now, although I grant too, it could be worse.
I stumbled into, given that I came here and and yet another toe to be amputated :cry: , nice care here these last months in Santa Cruz and, as of right this moment. now? I am healing -after having, just now, the ballooned up CHF weight (which I had a years back in SF,too), remember.

I think it's cool that ASS-P is getting the care he needs. I wasn't knocking ASS-P for being in Medicaid. I was just stating a fact.

....I am on a medical upswing now, that is true. It's also I guess true that in areas other than CalifCalifornia, the " Greater Bay Area " thereof, I could be even worse off, medically speaking - and, perhaps, at least in some areas, having a little more money could make me worse off in what I could get.
It is also true that I spent, I believe literally, years with 9&1/2 toes - but unable to get enough help then to deal with the iinfections that leave mme with just 4&1/2 toes now :cry: . If could have received it, would I still have 9&1/2? I have this real problem with my eyesight now that I haven't gone into here :) . I having my bad cough now too :( .
