[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1266600, member: 19397"] If I had to guess I would say that the uninsured die more often (because it would include the homeless) followed by those on Medicare, then Medicaid and finally private insurance. This is based soley on the populations I deal with at work. Generally your Medicare crowd is either the retired or on disability folks, with some disability being on medicaid as well. They are your highest risk insured population. Interestingly, I heard last week that 5% of the insured population accounts for 50% of all money spent. What you really have to worry about when going into the hospital is not the surgeon, but rather nosocomial infections. Those are hospital acquired infections such as pneumonia, C-Diff, MRSA, etc. [/QUOTE]
