'It was the single dumbest decision anyone could make': More than 4,300 recovering coronavirus patients were sent to New York nursing homes under Gov Cuomo's directive that the facilities could not reject anyone

How we know it was coldly calculating: In NYS’s new budget, signed in early April, contained legislation that protected nursing homes from both civil AND criminal liability.

I’m thinking Cuomo and the legislature wanted to make certain discovery wouldn’t be an issue.

Nobody went to court.

Wonder why...?

A killer chart in many ways.

I sent this back to a woman who lost her mother in a NJ nursing home.

BTW, some Medicaid clients are cheaper than others. If NYS wants people on Medicaid all it has to do is open the door to young illegals who cost a heckuva lot less than seniors in the last year or so of their lives. Some Medicaid patients NYS clearly doesn’t want.

It is murder. These governors belong in prison. They knew as well as the Nazis who filled Concentration Camps.

[Trillian]

Those governors knew exactly what they were doing. They should be in prison.

"dumbest" seems to be a lightweight criticism...

if this were a pub governor, the "decision" would have been called racist, evil, and full of white priviledge.....
