I am also willing to bet that this patient had money, because most nursing homes will not accept patients who have minimal assets, and as a result, do not qualify for Medicaid.A nursing home did accept this patient. The family did not want to spend down her assets for a nursing home bed. They wanted us taxpayers to do that.
This was a ploy to have the taxpayers pay for the nursing home, instead of the patient.
I see it all the time.
This article has nothing to do with death panels- it has to do with the home/living enviroment of a person who does not need hospitalization.
If you’ve worked in SNFs, I bet you’ve seen plenty of elderly on Medicaid who are visited every weekend by the kids who drive up in their new Range Rover or Lexus.
SHHHH! Don’t say that!
The title draws posters in so they can write loving posts about Sarah!
No one wants to be educated about Medicaid.
