You obviously have never had an elderly relative discharged from the hospital under Medicare. The hospital UR and discharge personnel tell you when they go. Not Cuomo. Not the family. Not even the physicians. It’s the hospital either discharging them or refusing to admit them as they don’t need acute care. So you have to put them somewhere. Here are the choices if you can’t go to a nursing home; maybe the hospital ship or the Javits Center which isn’t a nursing care facility. Or to the family. Who looks after them if they go to the Javits Center? Not NH staff. Not acute care nurses. How do you solve this oh brilliant one?
