It is unbelievable more regulations toward a.g.Now a 90 day resident requirment for the poorer individuals before a.g. will qualify for them .Who did we make mad?Just shut us down suddenly and get it over with .We get no support or empathy.A resident can can from another state and qualify for medicaid the first day.This includes hospitalization ,nursing homes ,food or whatever.Why do all continue to beat a dead horse.This is a very worthwhile meaningful program for the people in need regardless where they are from.Our location is extreme southwest ,who are we to serve?Their maybe a lot of private pay in need for assisted living that can fill the gap, if the state does not pass a amendment or law to prevent anyone from driving through the state. Most people do not accept a.g.because of the neglect to fund it. The state is reluctant to find another way to help fund poor people in need for assisted living.That is why they rank 47th in the nation total medicaid expendentures per capita.This means 46 states are better at getting medicaid money ,which is funded throug federal government than Virginia is .A lot of studies have been done.A lot more cost occuring regulations ,but the funding continues to be ignored and neglected. This seems to be an infrengment of a person's civil.rights.How many of you have been in a a.g.home ?How and why did this come about?If this is imposed the state may save a few pennies and close a few homes.But if imposed it will do a lot more harm than good.Lot of other groomed and proud programs waste millions.Everyone has beat the hide the dead horse ,just keep beating until the bone and guts are gone.
