NY Governor Cuomo's largest campaign contributor is the NewYork State Health Facilities Association (NYSHFA)

[Roch + 413]

 

The  NYSHFA represent the New York Nursing Homes. 

1. Medicare paid maximum $200/day for a Nursing Home resident care.

2. For Nursing Home Covid patients the Feds would pay $800/day  !

3. Cuomo helped his crony benefactors by signing a bill to mandate elderly Covid patients be moved to nursing homes. 

4. There were reports of (a) some Nursing Homes squeezing 3 or 4 single beds into what previously a singles room that should contain one patient (4 x $800 =$3200/day per room) (b) patients sleeping in the hallways.  Families weren't allowed in and couldn't witness this.  

5. Then Cuomo signed a bill indemnifying the Nursing Homes from liability.  

                 $800/day   vs.   $200/day

Do you need to know anything else  ?

6. Governor Cuomo and Mayor DeBlasio refused to use the Medical ship Trump retrofitted and delivered to NYC or the emergency hospital bed facilities Trump built at the Javits Center and other venues. Both equipped with ventilators.

7. Right after Cuomo was exposed he claims, " they (nursing homes) wanted the patients".  They did, the daily rate for covid patient quadrupling to $800/day.  Cuomo's order was a ruse to force hospitals to send elderly to homes and give them cover.  Cuomo followed up with immunity for them.

Campaign contributors don't make money there.  

According to the ambulance drivers accounts during the Nursing Home patients last days as the covid virus consumed them, the patients were loaded into an ambulance, not told where they were going and delivered to a hospital acute care facility where they died alone without family by their side. 

Many times the family wasn't informed till after the fact.  

Also, the average Medicare patient payment to a hospital for a patient with complex respiratory condition was $13,297.  That has been increased for covid complex respiratory conditions to $39,000.

You know what's next.  Respiratory conditions that were the result of something like pneumonia were now classified as Covid.  One family in California lost their mother to cancer .  When the family received the death certificate it stated "Covid" . 

Cuomo assistant told fellow Democrats they lied about nursing home deaths by half because they were worried about the U.S. Department of Justice hearing about the excessive Nursing Home death rates.
