Health insurance key to prolonged stay?

I have seen patients leave a mental hospital within five to seven days. How do doctors keep them in for longer—let's say 6 months? Does health insurance have anything to do with their prolonged stay?
--------------------
In the US, yes it is most likely the health insurance...If you were paying privately you could stay as long as you wanted too or needed to...This is the case in ANY hospital whether mental or medical...yes, it seems callous, but the health insurances dictate what the Drs. can do for you too..
