More details to this question:
This is the THIRD time I have asked this question. I would think it's a pretty simple yes or no. My son went into the emergency room and found out that he had severe ulcerated colitis. They told him that his only option was a colostomy. They knew he was uninsured but they were convinced that they could get him on medicare. After the second surgery he was denied coverage and said that the other surgeries were done because medicare was pending. Now they want $50,000 to finish the job and get rid of his colostomy bag. Can they leave him this way.? He did get Obama care that starts in march, but I still would like to have known if they could have left him stranded this way. Will someone please answer this. I have seen that others were answered recently so this isn't a dead site. Thank you

The reason noone has likely naswered the question simply its to complicated to answer. As a general rule, elective (non-emergency) surgeries are not required to be provided by healthcare facilities. Other than that, you will likely have to actually hire a lawyer at some significant expense to provide a detailed answer, or you can speak to a social secuirty disability lawyer to see if they can help you with challenging medicare eligiability.
