This is so much bigger than the denied requests. Inspections in NYS are a joke. Regulations can be insanely counterproductive. Medicare changes the rules so that facilities could refuse to take back WuFlu patients if conditions warranted. And stuffed into the new state budget was legislation protecting nursing homes from both civil and criminal liability.
This nightmare isn’t just Downstate, either. Steuben County in Upstate NY has a horrific problem. One that, per a local news report, necessitated athe least one phone call from the governor’s office to a Steuben county nursing home that took place when no local officials were allowed to be present.
What is Albany hiding?
Is it just me or does Cuomo look like neanderthal man?
