You wouldn’t have any follow up if someone answered ‘no’? The question had, in fact, nothing to do with what is being said about Trump, you just happened to be interested in who here worked in New York? Right. Why are you so dishonest? Again - Hostile. Sad really. I knew some here have owned businesses. I know there are rumors of what it takes to do business in new york. I was looking for real life experiences. You really like to over-assume intentions, don't you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil1111 1,183 #35 March 15, 2020 Killing off senior citizens seems to be a trump mantra. Lobby cash from the Washington swamp has paid off for the industry. Nursing home fines lowered under Trump administration The Trump administration has changed the way it penalizes nursing homes that violate health and safety rules—which has resulted in lower fines. According to a March 15, 2019 NPR article, the average nursing home fine dropped from $41,260 in 2016 (President Obama’s final year in office) to $28,405... the Trump administration—encouraged by the nursing home industry—is using a single fine for two-thirds of infractions, according to the article. The end result is a lower penalty, which means that nursing homes have less incentive to improve their practices, according to experts. Trump Administration May Loosen Federal Nursing-Home Oversight Amid Pandemic 'the Trump administration would apparently like to eliminate the Oba-era requirement that nursing homes — which house roughly 2.5 million people nationwide, according to the Times — keep at least one infection-prevention specialist on hand. Under the new plan, those specialists would just have to spend “sufficient time” at facilities, a vague requirement that Anthony Chicotel, a staff lawyer for California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform, described to the Times as “alarming,” because “it adds up to less time, less infection control.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
