What Happens - Serious Question

[Da-truth]

I just want to know what will happen to people in nursing homes, especially those without families or any resources if nursing homes close down?

1. They will send all of them to a hospital (if they're still open)

for a real or imagined emergency, close their doors for good and let the hospital figure out where to dump them at discharge.

And it will be a dump!!

4. They will send all of them to a hospital (if they're still open)

Wow -

2. It's a matter of personal responsibility

They can lift their bed ridden bodies and walk if they weren't so lazy.

But remember: human life is precious, support the troops, have Christian values, and Trump 2028!

7. It's a matter of personal responsibility

So the very wealthy have to worry about where to stay on vacation. The poor have to worry about where to stay

3. There's a number of states that have laws on the books saying that near kin are responsible...

So, there will be some doorbells ringing.

5. The churches will make their passings

filled with remorse and confessions, and accept their assets if they have any.

6. They will be dumped on to the street and then arrested for being homeless

in a true synergy of MAGA policies.

then maybe deported to a country they have never been before

8. They will be dumped on to the street

Again Wow -

9. Most will die from neglect...

...in my opinion.

10. Good question. There is this one too.

Some folks have a loved one in the nursing home as a contingent for if they (the person out of the nursing home) would pass first. They are often less able to care for that person at home and worry what would happen to that nursing home person if they passed first. Are these fascists going to kick those nursing home patients back to a family member who is unable to care for another with severe needs? and risk that if the home caretaker dies first then the more incapacitated person is going to be able to survive at home, or push them through the trauma of getting back into a nursing home after their home caretaker has died? I don't expect fascists to care, nor be capable of putting themselves in another's shoes.

One death is a tragedy. One million deaths is a statistic.

And the mad barking of sea-lions continues.

12. People in nursing homes are not the targets of these cuts. It's people who supposedly can work according to GOPers, and

the matching rate on people who are covered by Medicaid expansion. ACA subsidy cuts are also factored in.
