(58,724 posts)Louisiana's Department of Health is preparing to send eviction notices to about 37,000 nursing home and other long-term care residents who could lose Medicaid coverage under the current budget.
Bob Johannessen, a spokesman for Department of Health, told The News Star that the goal of the eviction notices is to notify anyone who could be affected as soon as possible in order that they begin developing their appropriate plans.
"Something could happen to put it on hold, but everything is ready," he said.

(13,776 posts)Will they just wheel everybody whose families won't or can't take them out of the nursing homes and put them on the sidewalk? Surely even these days that can't happen.
