STATEWIDE (NETWORK INDIANA) — Indiana has joined 19 other states in filing a lawsuit challenging a federal rule that Republican attorneys general will force nursing homes to close.
The rule requires having a registered nurse onsite at all hours, residents getting at least 0.55 hours of care from an RN every day and residents getting 2.45 hours of care from a nursing aide daily as well.
The lawsuit says the rule is a “heavy-handed mandate” that does not address “the legitimate challenges nursing homes face.”

Oh, so Republicans are fighting to keep sub-standard nursing homes from closing? Did I read that right? I would have thought Republicans pushing for more professional hands-on care would be the case. Don’t our seniors (and other NH residents) deserve it? All the money going outside the US, millions and millions freely given to illegal aliens. Where are the force of all republicans showing for that? Lip service doesn’t cut it. Shameful.
