Beware of Medicare--Very, very important!

This on NBC Evening News and thought I should send it to all my friends on Medicare as a warning.
I've included the segment for you to view.
Basically, do not let the hospital admit you with the words "Under Observation." Insist on "In-Patient"designation. Otherwise, you will be responsible for some expenses. It might be wise to also inform family members.

US Government: Honesty is the best policy! (But, ours is next best.)
