Juaunia Bates is hospitalized at Corewell Health Wayne Hospital, but Medicare and the hospital say she needs to be discharged because they have her medical condition under control. The 33-year-old says she gained about 200 pounds in her apartment in Wayne and had not left it for around two years before more than a dozen paramedics and firefighters got her into the apartment elevator last month when she called 9-1-1 for pain in her legs. Bates says she's concerned because she doesn't have many options for where to go.
