BATON ROUGE — Louisiana's Department of Health will begin sending nursing home eviction notices Thursday to more than 30,000 residents who could lose Medicaid under the budget passed by the state House of Representatives.

"The Louisiana Department of Health is beginning the process of notifying all impacted enrollees that some people may lose their Medicaid eligibility," Department of Health spokesman Bob Johannessen said. "The goal of the department is to give notice to all affected people as soon as possible in order that they begin developing their appropriate plans."

Gov. John Bel Edwards' staff has planned a press conference Wednesday for more details, a day before the notices are set to be mailed to 37,000 Medicaid recipients in nursing homes or other long-term care facilities.

&quot The Department of Health) told us they're sending out the letters May 10," said Mark Berger, executive director of the Louisiana Nursing Home Association, during testimony at the Senate Finance Committee meeting Monday.

1. Fucking lowlife no-heart asshole

muthafuckas. I WISH there was a HELL for them to burn in forever.

"The goal of the department is to give notice to all affected people as soon as possible in order that they begin developing their appropriate plans."

What? So they will have time to find a cardboard box to live out of?? Or find which bridge they can live under till they starve to death. Fuck, I hate you people so much.

8. Edwards maybe trying to box republicans in with the tactic.

Let people see how dire circumstance will be and then let them call their representatives.

2. Appropriate plans?

Like dying in the gutter?

3. This is the start

of what republicans plan for America.

They plan to get rid of the safetynet all together and that will result in tens of millions of old people being thrown onto the street.

Yet these people in general keep voting for this.

4. Safety net hospitals and nursing homes will close

This is just the beginning.

These are the morals of the GOP. They'd rather push people out in the street and deny them basic care than raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations. Bastards.

5. Heart of the Bible Belt ?

Right, Gosple according to John Galt.

6. This is a moral outrage. Thousands will die and tens of thousands will have their lives disrupted.

Louisiana Dems need to start ads in all venues on this immediately and throw out any and all repubs that can be voted out next November in order to reverse this madness. The News Media needs to be alerted and by whatever means this needs to get to the general public. This is the sort of thing that can help change the country for the better but the brainwashed and the braindead will be hard to win over, nonetheless.

7. This is basically murder.

What will happen to these people? I suspect many of them will die. I can't tell you how much I despise these selfish, hateful, greedy bastards. Pro-life my ass.
