[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to use CVS Minute Clinic for employment TB test and physical.

While there, the healthcare provider said she sees patients who need to go to a hospital.

They end up going to an ER and hospitalized for five days for high blood pressure, heart issues, etc.

[b]I was really surprised because it's an affluent area, where I thought they would have private health insurance or Medicare supplemental insurance and see regular physicians. [/b]

She said no. Maybe they are too young for Medicare. [/quote]

Maybe you thought wrong? There are many people in this area who live outside their means.

Also - too young for Medicare means they were not elderly. [/quote]

They can also live with family.  My mil had early onset dementia, no money and Medicare only paid 80-20.  Her social security put her right above the cut off for Medicaid and 20% is a lot.  In her home state she got Medicaid but here the cut off was different.  My parents have owned their house for 50 years so they may not be poor but not at an equal level to those buying now.
