(20,975 posts)In Florida they used to "evict" Medicaid patients in nursing homes to make room for patients who had better insurance or were paying cash. They'd load the Medicaid patients into cars, some in buses, and drop them off all over the cities. Sometimes they leave them at bus stations, and most often they wouldn't even change them into street clothes. They leave them in hospital garb, you know.....the gowns that leave your ass flapping in the breeze. The Florida newspapers reported on this heavily, and the authorities even caught some of these nursing home owners, and some of them got a stern talking to and maybe fined.
It's all about the money, and with the baby boomer generation in full retirement/long term healthcare mode, it's going to get a lot worse in the very near future.
These are the "good christian" Republicans, complete with "family values".
