Inpatient Mental Health Care Coverage (medicare.gov) Yeah, so there is a lifetime limit for inpatient mental health services in Medicare. 190 days then you're on your own. I wonder why this restriction was put into place? In my experience, I've been hospitalized with mental health issues 3 times already in my lifetime and the typical stay for me is 14 days each time. And some people stay longer. I can see that some people, who have it worse than I do, could use up their lifetime limit during their lifetime. Mental healthcare can get pretty expensive. Requiring an isolated, locked-down hospital ward itself, plus the expenses of food and personal items, plus pay for the staff. The first time I was involuntarily admitted (that means you don't have a choice in the matter), I ran up a $300,000 bill. So, yes it's an expensive type of care. But, that's not why I think there's a lifetime limit. The reason why I think there's a lifetime limit is so that people on the CIA / FBI / shadow-government hit-list aren't able to hide away safe in a psych ward for the rest of their lives. Eventually, when they can't pay any more they will be thrown out of the mental hospital and the CIA can assassinate them. They used to be able to throw a deviant out the window to kill them, but now psych wards are so locked up and patrolled that the windows don't open and nobody is out of sight of the hospital staff for more than a few minutes.
