Don't they get paid on a per diem basis, and therefore have every incentive to keep beds full. To do that wouldn't you want to minimize bed turnover?

Your analysis makes perfect sense if the motive is profit. But if the motive is to liquidate useless eaters (vernichtung lebensunwerten Lebens), high-turnover rate is a mark of efficiency.

The title says "taking over" and that's accurate enough, but somehow "infiltrating and subverting" says it better for me.

Well, I can see that if it is low level nurses with a personal agenda, like the guy in NJ, killing off the patients. But if it were the owners, they would be costing themselves money, and risking prison to do so. That part of the article I don't believe. I'm a "follow the money type" and I would possibly believe it if the author showed how it benefitted the bottom line.
