21. The way I see it

is, when a nursing home needs to get a patient out for nonpayment, they will transfer the patient to an ER for something, and then refuse to take the patient back. They can transfer the burden to the back of a hospital.

I see this bill, in this aspect, as an immediate threat to hospitals, too. But, yeah, some if not most, of the nursing homes rely on medicare/medicaid money to survive. It's not going to be pretty.
