No chance she'll face the same insurance issues as the rest of us condemned to the ACA or Medicare. Granny winebox established the two tier healthcare and justice system.

The underlying problem is not ACA or Medicare.
The underlying problem sees to be healthcare for profit, a goal that ACA wanted to try to diminish until the Republicans foiled that effort.
The wealthy shareholders of the healthcare companies want money and increasing profits.
And the current healthcare system in the United States seems to be tilted to giving them more money. Even though the life expectancy in the US is not reflecting the percentage increases in those stock prices.
And why does that happen?
Is the health of the US increasing?
Or are the profits the wealthy can extract from our healthcare system increasing?

Likely her fall was caused by a hip failure rather than the other way around. Quick work by the folks at Landstuhl.

But there are some exceptions, according to a STAT review of federal campaign contribution filings for top executives.

STAT looked at campaign donation filings that cover the 2024 election period for more than 40 CEOs of major health insurance companies, hospital systems, and other provider groups. Many executives either didn't make political donations or gave to their companies' political action committees, similar to pharmaceutical CEOs. ...

How tall are you? I mean, do you wear platform shoes? Too short for your prom date?
If you wonder why I ask then you're even dumber than you seem.

Biden Meera Sachdeva, a Mississippi doctor sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2012 for defrauding Medicare by providing diluted chemotherapy drugs and old needles to cancer patients. One patient of Sachdeva's clinic claimed to have contracted HIV because of old needles.

Then there is Daniel Fillerup, sentenced to 10 years in prison for selling fentanyl that killed an Albany woman, and Shelinder Aggarwal, an Alabama "pill mill" doctor who the Department of Justice said "directly contributed to the opioid epidemic." And Biden commuted the 17.5-year prison sentence of former Luzerne County, Pa., judge Michael Conahan, who took $2.1 million in kickbacks from a for-profit prison executive in exchange for sentencing juveniles to those facilities
