AARP story in their monthly magazine.

Not sure if other saw the write up on the outcome of what went wrong in nursing homes because of Covid. I think it a two-part story but I think many good things will happen from this. It is truly worth reading.

    I do think the other link may also been part of what I read.

    If I read it correctly I see a huge problem with the system. It is to the assisted living center to send a person to the hospital. By doing so they go from Medicaid to Medicare and get a lot more money after returning back. Now I understand why they dump these folks in the hospital system. I use to think it was to cover their a** but this is a money-making way to increase their bottom line.
