California kicking patients our of their nursing homes.

[longknife]

Some of California’s most vulnerable nursing home residents, many of whom have nowhere else to go, are receiving letters from their health care plans saying they are no longer eligible for long-term care.

Another example of the results of liberal socialism on the Left Coast of the USA.

The residents included a 68-year-old amputee with diabetes, memory loss and kidney disease who required dialysis three times a week, and an 82-year-old man with congestive heart failure and diabetes who wasn’t strong enough to transfer himself from his bed to a wheelchair, Jones said.

All because Medi-Cal is running short and is desperately trying to cut back spending.

Golick, the ombudsman for several northern counties, said a man in his 80s in Trinity County received a notice from Partnership HealthPlan earlier this year that he was no longer covered for nursing care he’d depended on for a decade. Like many elderly residents, she said, he felt he had no choice but to comply. He told her he might sleep on someone’s couch, or in his brother’s car.

Add a few more to the homeless population.

Well first of all- thank you for sharing this story. It is certainly concerning.

We have California residents who are receiving benefits from the government- so I am glad that none of these patients are having to rely completely on Capitalism for their support. Capitalism would have never let these people into for profit nursing homes unless they could pay the full price themselves.

The article is interesting- but maddeningly incomplete.

In one notable example, three dozen nursing home residents in San Luis Obispo County were informed on the same day that their Medi-Cal managed-care plan was cutting off payment for nursing home care, said Karen Jones, the county’s long-term care ombudsman.

The article never states what the reason given for the notifications that their managed care plan was cutting off payment. I would like to know why.

California is a different animal. What do you have to say that health care plans in other states do not cover long term care. Medicaid does in most states but not as your op stated "Health Insurance"

 

[Maxdeath]

And you have so many advoctating for government run healthcare.
You can find many examples of government healthcare failing not only in the U.S. but in European countries.

Shit looks like the red states have to clean up the mess again.

Based on what evidence?

They've got enough money to care for millions of illegals that constantly pour into the state, however.

Sorry grandpa with diabetes and grandma with heart problems. California has other priorities and they don't include you.
You people can go to hell, for all slick Gavin Newsom-screw some cares.

This is what Dimwingers want to bring to the entire country.

Idiots.

To bad you will give the illegals living in the streets another needle to shoot up with, free healthcare, and food stamps. But that elderly person, will get evicted. Kinda brings truth to Obama saying to that woman at the town hall meeting. Instead of a new hip, which could give her years of enjoyment. Under my plan, she will get a pain pill. To live her last few years, pain free.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Nothing that the Democrats do any more shocks me with regard to being heartless and cruel, after all they support infanticide and abortion up to the second it isnt abortion any more.

If you can cut a little baby up into little peices and sell the parts, throwing Granny out in the streets is no problem.

This is precisely the Issue. Wholesale population transfusion.... It's not hidden anymore. The beast has now decided to choose its own electorate instead of being chosen by the electorate.

I would think the Republicans here would be cheering. This is what they are advocating. Kicking people off Medicare and ending it.

It seems they will allow their hatred of others to override their principles.

Are you really so sick that you believe that?

Do any of those countries want to do healthcare the way we do?

I said it. I believe it. If it wasn't true you would have provided a rebuttal as opposed to a silly attack on me. You pretty much enforce my point by doing that.
