Q: Is it true that, under the Affordable Care Act, âMedicare will not pay anythingâ for patients receiving only âobservationâ care in hospitals? A: No. Medicare will pay a significant portion of observation care costs after copayments and deductibles are met. Nothing has changed as a result of the ACA.
1 An apostrophe-s may be used to indicate a plural for single lowercase letters, abbreviations with periods or other abbreviations where the s alone would be confusing such as x's. 2  Generally, apostrophes are only used for lower-case letters.
When someone's name ends with an s, it is acceptable to use an apostrophe without an s to show ownership, but linguists with the Chicago Manual of Style, along with others, prefer to add an s after the apostrophe.
