Expanding Medicare to cover the cost of long-term care at home would be a HUGE development. Great quote: “There isn’t a lot in the world of health policy that does this well with such a broad swath of the electorate.” @CitizenCohn huffpost.com/entry/kamala-ha…

Longer version of CBS nursing home ownership & quality story. Story focuses on Aspen Skilled Healthcare where @lisaling's mother-in-law received poor care. As I said in the piece, "Does Aspen have particular investors? There's no ability to peel that back with the federal data?"
More than 70% of U.S. nursing homes are now owned by for-profit companies — and new research raises troubling questions about their quality of care. There is mounting evidence patients are paying the price. cbsn.ws/4c18tvs
