Worst part: The patients didn’t have to go back.
In mid March of 2020, Trump had CMS change their regs to allow nursing homes to refuse to take sick CoupFlu patients back if the facilities couldn’t do it properly.
Whitmer, like Cuomo, ordered them sent back.
So why did the facilities knuckle under when the feds allowed them to refuse?
I’m betting the facilities were threatened and/or bribed.
Pity nobody is interested in getting to the bottom of that.
Find out just why the facilities took back the patients would tell us quite a bit about what Deep State was up to.
Why did Nursing Homes knuckle under? Follow the money.
a major argument against government money in health care is that it is political decisions in health care. Nursing Homes are totally dependent on Social Secufity, Medicare, Medicaid and similar government money.Politicians control the money. Politicians control whether Healthcare Providers meet the license requirements.
This is not unique to 2022. Nurses are licensed and paid different from Doctors for the sole reason the Nurses are seen as women. Doctors are men. That is the licensing structure, even though no longer true. That is a political decision to license like this.
One may support or not, this government control of healthcare providers. But it is an undeniable fact that it exists and govenment/politicians created it.
