I see it as a free market...if she doesn't like the nursing home policies, she can move to a nursing home that allows smoking. The nursing home owner has a right to establish smoking/non-smoking policies on their property. Unfortunate that they allowed it, then didn't allow it, but that is a good reason to take your business elsewhere.
My guess is that the State, County, Municipality (soon to be Fedguv.) has taken away that option.
Just like bars and restaurants.
Maybe she should just move to a casino on an Indian reservation. For some reason, those seem to win exemptions from the smoking bans.
I bet it would be cheaper to just give her a bucket of quarters and have her sit at a slot machine all day anyway.
Did you see it as a free market when unelected bureaucrats and "non-profit" gangs with an agenda took away the rights of private property owners to allow legal activity on their premises?
Or does the free market theory only come into play when 93-year old women should just haul ass and get out if they don't like it?
