I know a Covid hospital admission paid $70,000 (down in July ago $55,000) but what was the price of nursing home admissions? Could that be the reason NY didn’t use Samaritan’s Purse facilities or the USNS Comfort??
Hospitals had every incentive to keep them.
Residential care facilities had approval from Fedzilla to refuse to accept them.
Cuomo sent them back anyway. I suspect Medicaid cost was a big driver.
For folks who genuinely wish to find out what happened: Subpoena nursing home directors and ask them under oath about their contacts with Albany and why their facilities took sick patients back.
