Pitching out old people because they’re on Medicaid?

And this is how elderlies are treated...



Crooks and Liars:


Act Against Eviction:


Eleven residents of Victoria House in Port Townsend, Washington State, (some in their 90s) are being evicted from the assisted living facility with 90 days notice. Why? Because the Victoria House management company, has decided to stop accepting Medicaid, and there is no law in Washington that makes them have to stick with their agreements with tenants.


Yup. They can just kick ‘em out.


The same company kicked out all the Medicaid patients from their Oregon facilities last year. Community action got together, and now Oregon has a law, like the one in Illinois, that prohibits such practices.

Now this is scary it could be me. What kind of State or country allow this to happen. The US calls itself the Leader of the Free World and the richest country. Great example of how older Americans are treated. We give Trillions to Iraq but put the seniors in the street. First the Vets now the Seniors who's next.
