Isn’t it interesting how bureaucracies believe they can conjure the expected results like magic if they pass a rule? It’s like the alchemists of old who were, essentially, practicing wizardry. You can find the new rule here, introduced by the typical word salad employed by governmental agencies.
Did you know that you are presumed to be “hiding profits?” “There is also evidence that facilities have additional funding that they could be devoting to staffing. For example, one paper found that nursing homes in Illinois were much more profitable than claimed but that 63 percent of those profits were hidden and directed to related parties of the owner. If those hidden profits were instead put toward staffing, the study found, RN staffing could be substantially increased and the share of facilities in compliance with the registered nurse requirements of the proposed rule would rise by twenty percentage points from 55.2 percent to 75.6 percent and compliance with the nurse aide HRPD requirement would rise from 15.3 percent to 36.1 percent in Illinois.[25]”
Already, apprehension is rising in Texas and elsewhere.
