So if I paid the Mayo supplemental, above, what would happen when I’m rushed to the hospital with chronic Conservatism? Could the surgeon, as the Bloomberg article suggests, refuse to treat me because I am a MediCare patient? I guess the answer is that there is probably some supplemental plan for that.

The surgeon can refuse for any reason but won't in this case, the Surgeon knows he will be getting paid by anyone with a supplemental policy. AARP made a fortune by selling Medicare Supplemental Insurance to the elderly. The reason why they supported the Obama Hellcare plan it would grant them a monopoly on Mdicare supplemental Insurance for Senior Citizens.

If anyone needs to see a Doctor for anything there is always a way but not always free.

I don't know if there is a supplemental Insurance policies in Canada as they are in the U.S.
