Description

Schmitt reports on the finances of the nursing home industry nationwide. "In an elaborate national lobbying campaign in 2002, nursing home operators used quality of care as a wedge to seek billions more in federal funding, saying lives would be endangered if the homes didn't get more money." U.S. News & World Report finds a very different picture: nursing homes are earning healthy profit margins, usually in the range of 20 to 30 percent; nursing home operators steer big chunks of revenues to themselves or related businesses; and there is no evidence that today's patients are sicker, as the nursing home industry has claimed.
