Quote of the Day 5/4/2016 - Oklahoma Policy Institute

“We now lose $14 per day for every Medicaid resident. A 25 percent cut, which is on the table, would mean 93 percent of nursing homes would have to close their doors. That is 16,800 elders that would have nowhere to go. The right cut is zero percent.”
