Exposing Looney Left Lie #25 About United States Medicare: George Bush Did Not Create Medicare "Observation Status"

Much of the slanted and outright false publicity about observed vs. admitted hospital visits and their real and false connection to Medicare skilled nursing facility coverage gets blamed on -- who else -- George Bush.

 

Just another looney left lie. The rules go back to the creation of Medicare in 1965.

Blame LBJ.
