Re: NEW NURSING HOME TAX TO BENEFIT FOR-PROFIT MEDICAID HOMES, AND HURT NON-PROFIT HOMES WITH FEWER MEDICAID BEDS

A recent law was passed which will tax private pay nursing home beds and divert the money to Medicaid beds. This new law will allow the owners of for-profit nursing homes with Medicaid beds to profit even more than they do currently. While the Health Care Council of IL claims to lose $27.00/day on Medicaid beds, the homes with the most Medicaid beds are operating at a profit.

Private-pay residents at NON-profit nursing homes will incur a tax to go to the owners of FOR-profit Medicaid beds.

We can't help but wonder if those for-profit nursing homes that will receive the new tax are the same nursing homes that are favored by the Cook County Probate Court. See our articles in the index on the right about OBRA Special Needs Pooled Trusts to read how these trusts are used to deplete the estates of the wards with attorneys' fees and guardians' fees while the wards are placed into FOR-Profit Medicaid nursing homes.

Something does not seem right here.
