Seems like anything that has access to the govt. and it's massive funding mysteriously skyrockets in its pricing (education & health care for instance)
I wonder if all these nursing homes will just be empty OR will they magically find a way to keep taking money from the govt. at a reduced rate.
I think we all know the answer to that.
First they will conduct a fear campaign to try and get sheeple to be "outraged".
And then if that doesn't work, they will simply adjust their pricing to whatever the govt. gives them.
The CEO's of the corporations who really run the nursing homes will be forced to buy one less yacht and maybe pay for one less mistress to have a fancy apartment.
And then in a few years when a Democrat gets back in power they can get back to the corruption and "business as usual" again.

I have a feeling the homes won't be lowering prices or having trouble finding people to live in them. My mom is 77 and has bad arthritis in her knees and hips so she uses a wheelchair and needs help doing some things. She now lives in an assisted living community. The law requires them to give a certain number of apartments to Medicaid only residents. They set aside exactly the minimum they have to in order to meet the law and they have a long waiting list of people wanting to get into those apartments. There are some facilities where most of the people are on Medicaid, but many of them are run down, and aren't very good.
What Is see happening is them raising their prices for those who either pay out of pocket or have some kind of different insurance that helps them pay for the place to help the company offset the loss from Medicaid. They will also likely try to cut corners to save money. I think lowering costs will be their last resort as that would cut into their profit.
