More than 30,000 nursing home eviction notices to be sent in Louisiana Thursday...

65. Probaby more than 10 thousand will be DEAD within weeks.

My father had a stroke 6 months ago, and I have been dealing with nursing homes since then. He initially recovered somewhat, but then has started deteriorating again. He is 86 and has many complications, but keeps on living somehow.

But having been dragged through this process of Medicare to self pay, and eventually Medicaid I know more about it than I ever wanted to.

No one ever goes into a nursing home because they "Want" to, only because the HAVE to! The people there need 24/7 care for even their most basic needs. They are beyond what nearly anyone can provided in home care. Nursing homes cost about $7000 a month to be in one! I am about to write the third $7400 check this week. My parents IRA savings is dwindling fast.

And Medicaid is the last resort payer, and you have to literally bankrupt yourself (under $2000 in money/savings) before you can apply, and the application process itself if grueling. If you do have any assets like a home your spouse is living in, the state will put a lien on its eventual sale for any money. They look back an any money you have given away in the last 5 years and essentially claw that money back before Medicaid starts paying anything.

Throwing these people out is a literal death sentence for many if not most of these people. They will not survive without this level of care, and it will be beyond the capabilities of most families. Plus how many will lose their jobs because of trying to take care of their now in-home patients.

This is some Nazi level evil. Who needs assault rifles when we have "Assault Policies" to really kill a lot of people.
