This bill will hurt seniors. There is no getting around it. I don't think anyone actually believes Medicaid patients will get 1st class treatment. Look at our prior post for the truth.

However here is a summary of facts.

Fact
This has never worked elsewhere when a state already has a waiver program (BTW Florida has one).

Fact
If facilities pull out like they did in the pilot program seniors may be sent to other counties away from all their family.

Fact
The Florida legislature has been given a proposal that actually will cut the deficit that they ignored.
