Note to anyone in Scalise’s office if they’re lurking: Do some research on WuFlu nursing home patient outcomes. Was there any difference in outcomes among nursing home dual-eligibles and patients with Medicare and Medicare with Medigap.
Also keep in mind that the death stats may be problematic if states are not counting nursing home patients who die in hospital among nursing home deaths.
Another question: why did so many nursing homes that could refuse, refuse to do so?
Were they threatened with meaningful inspections, cuts in funding, outting of past offenses, more regulations that make their job even harder?
Wolf then sent the Nation Guard into these nursing homes my daughter included they helped to help the incompetent staff who was union with PPE and cleanliness. They had 30 deaths in this one home in Chester County.
