Debate threatens nursing facilities
Monday, October 12, 2009
CHARLES TOWN - Carolyn Togans was not aware the proposed cuts to skilled-care nursing homes included in health care reform legislation being considered by Congress until she recently attended a presentation at Shenandoah Center where her mother is a resident.
She is aware now, though, and Togans plans to do something about it. With determination, she took information with her after the presentation on how to start a petition drive to fight the cuts.
Togans, about 12 residents and an equal number of employees who attended the presentation were urged to write letters, circulate petitions and make telephone calls to their U.S. representative and senators protesting the cuts to Medicare.
