California kicking patients our of their nursing homes.

[Harry Dresden]

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.

I am not the one complaining about "brown" people. Only those that don't "remember the Island", do that.

I am for promoting the general welfare with means testing for those who need it.

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.

Why? Progressives failure.
