superman - "If you have medicare or private insurance you would know that it takes them about 6 months or longer to pay insurance claims."

That's the nature of their business. If one isn't prepared financially to deal with that, they have no business getting into it in the first place.

If you have medicare or private insurance you would know that it takes them about 6 months or longer to pay insurance claims. How would you like to have to wait six months to get paid?

You people sound ridiculous! I mean, like really. I did not hear anyone of you talking about how medicaid hasnt paid them for months. You have to remember, this is a business regardless, and the state is not paying. You people should understand more with facts. The state feels it is okay to pay whenever, but sets laws that makes the business have to pay out. Want all yall chip in and pay those fees!

newornamentals . And you are getting these "facts" from where? Always been cost/benefit analysis on medical treatment. Limited funds, spend 1 milliion on questionable unproven treatments on one person or treat 100 with evidence based protocols? Sounds like you want the tax payers or the insurance company to ignore best practices and pay according to your extensive medical knowledge.

Well, well, well....Larry Patton was convicted of embezzlement in 2002. (See Offender Search on DOC's website) They currently owe over $2.5 million in various taxes, fines & interest. This is not an issue of underfunding by Medicaid. It clearly looks like bad management and unscrupulous business practices. Them taking the computers indicates their attempt to hide some financial wrong doing. The State needs to beef up the financial monitoring of Adult Care Homes.

I know liberals don't acknowledge facts as truth but please do your research folks. The Pattons are Dem donors...which means they supported ___ for Pres? They are merely ahead of the coming curve that is leading to Barrycare "Death Panels". Yes, those are real and I have actually read the Act. Have you? The Pattons are showing core Obamic values and you didn't even realize it? If you look how Obama and Biden have treated veterans, look how their new regulations are denying procedure and new drugs to seniors, in effect giving seniors a death penalty.
