A few things to consider: The nursing home lobby uses millions of dollars each Session to fight off legislative attempts for nursing home reform. For a reason. Reform attempts focuses on getting more medicare money for home health care services. i.e. taking money out of the nursing home association's members. And the same association used to be comprised, 80% , of EWE's cronies. Most which have been passed on to families & friends. Finally, if you need further proof, the nursing home association is, by far, JBE's largest contributor. Would you trust your loved one with this crowd?

It’s also this same lobby that maintains a moratorium on the number of nursing home beds in the state that are Medicare/Medicaid certified. This effectively eliminates a competitive market for nursing homes. No competition=bad for the consumer. If you want to build a Medicaid certified SNF in this state you have to purchase existing certified “beds”.

Just like everything else. The cronyism runs deep.
