Tender Loving Greed |
by |
Mary Adelaide Mendelson |
| |
The book that started it all
and exposed the shame and tender loving greed of the nursing home
industry. But the patterns, scams, corruption, co-option, and enabling
from out-to-make-a-buck owners to co-opted or fearful regulators,
and an enabling Congress may explain today's problems reforming
or converting out healthcare system, whether it's ObabmaCare or
anything else. |

Tender Loving
Greed, by Mary Adelaide Mendelson |
|
The 1974 George C. Polk award
winner is perhaps more timely today than when it was
written 35 years ago. Most of the people are dead
and the dollar figure are small, but a $3600 a week
kickback was equal to 2 VW Beetles in 1967. People
are asking "Why are our medical costs so high?"
Congressmen bemoan these costs and seem as baffled
as everyone else. "Why?" |
| |
The scams by nursing home operators,
abetted by an enabling system with congressional committees
at the top, are as shocking to read about today as
they were in 1974. Perhaps more shocking: read the
never before disclosed letters showing how a powerful
Senator tried to have the book killed. |
| |
| These behind-the-scenes glimpses will give you a clue
as why our medical costs are so high. If you care, as
you should, about health care, when you get through
reading Tender Loving Greed, you may never
vote the same again. |
