Right Gretchen?

An investigation by Michigan’s Office of the Auditor General concluded that the Whitmer administration had undercounted the death toll for COVID-19 in long-term care facilities by about 30%.
Soon after Governor Andrew Cuomo mandated that nursing homes in New York accept patients with COVID, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer on April 15, 2020, followed suit with a very similar edict that had very similar results. Michigan’s Auditor General recently reported that the death toll for long-term care facilities (nursing homes) is 30% higher than the State had previously admitted.
I followed the progress of this order through a colleague whose clinical work involved consultations at nursing homes in southeast Michigan. (He wishes to remain anonymous lest his observations jeopardize his employment) He reported that facilities promptly responded to the order and the residents promptly started to die.
An investigation by Michigan’s Office of the Auditor General concluded that the Whitmer administration had undercounted the death toll for COVID-19 in long-term care facilities by about 30%. The administration predictably disputed the conclusion, claiming that differences in methodology, especially the state’s exclusion of facilities not subject to COVID reporting requirements, accounted for much of the discrepancy. But dead is dead, and the only relevant question is whether the governor’s order played a role in the new deaths identified by the auditor. The answer is likely “Yes.”
Provision I.2 of Whitmer’s executive order 2020-50 required LTC’s to readmit residents recently hospitalized for COVID-19 infection:
A long-term care facility must not prohibit admission or readmission of a resident based on COVID-19 testing requirements or results in a manner that is inconsistent with relevant guidance issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”).
But, I am juuust guessing here....that the governors who forced LTC nursing homes to take in COVID patients suddenly had improvements in their state Medicaid budgets.
0bamacare is/was all about plundering Social Security. The oldsters and disabled aren’t dying off quickly enough, however - the pandemic is the fix. Communism requires the deaths of those unable to work, then drives the young and fit into an early grave. Who reaps the benefits? Husks like Soros.
The Governors who murdered Americans for CCP
including those who targeted vets like in Mass.
should be indicted today.
Why is she still alive? That’s pure evil to do that. This is some serious crimes against humanity.
Trump’s administration changed the CMS regs in the middle of March 2020 to allow nursing homes the ability to refuse to take back sick CoupFlu patients.
Unless Deep State has changed the regs back, nursing homes can STILL refuse to take back sick CoupFlu patients.
Someone ought to be investigating shy nursing homes that were, and possibly still are, allowed to refuse to take the patients back, took them anyway.
Here in NYS I’m betting Albany either threatened and/or bribed the directors of the facilities into doing it. I know of only one nursing home that refused.
Project Veritas, here’s a story for you. Find out how Albany got those facilities to take patients back when Trump ensured they didn’t have to do it.
Dead link?
Two more questions:
Were dual eligibles, Medicare/Medicaid, sent back more frequently than patients on Medicare or on Medicare with MediGap?
And was/is the mortality rate, at least the reported mortality rate (trust but verify) for dual eligibles higher than for the other seniors.
And if so, why?
Try this one...
Germany used to have nice retirement homes like those.
BTTT.
