The Medicaid list of what is preventable mirrors the Medicare list, which includes... falls that result in dislocation, fractures, or head injuries.

Oh, sweet. Under the new Medicaid rules, I would have had to pay for having my broken elbow repaired after I fell while crossing the street on an Army post. Even though the Army did an investigation and determined that I fell because it was a construction zone which I had to cross to get to the parking lot--that just confirms that the injury was preventable (they could have put the construction zone elsewhere, right?).

When you get right down to it, most conditions are preventable. Well, Obama *did* claim that Obamacare would save money.

Not that I agree with the policy, but they are talking about “fall that result...” that occur while you are in the hospital (and probably nursing home as well)
