21. It doesn't matter if nursing homes are profitable or owned by rich people

Mon Jun 30, 2025, 01:41 AM

Jun 30

The owners of nuseing homes aren't going to take the hit for medicaid cuts. They'll reduce the number of medicaid beds and there just won't be enough beds for people who can't pay out of pocket. If rich people are running nursing home to make a profit, and the profit is reduced by less Medicaid money, do you think they'll keep running the homes without the profit?

Whether they are forced to close or choose to close, we are without these nursing homes.
