Op-ed: Getting out of a nursing home just got harder
March 24th, 2008By Mike Ervin in the Modesto [California] Bee:
The Bush administration is going after poor people who want to get out of nursing homes.
Earlier this month, the Bush administration put forth new restrictions on Medicaid funding … The restrictions are in what the government calls “targeted case management.” This area covers people who use various federal programs and who need help coordinating these services.
One group of Medicaid recipients on which this surely will have a severe negative impact are nursing home residents trying to transition into community living support situations.
… When our government reduces options for poor people stuck in nursing homes, something is seriously wrong in Washington.
