I'm told that private facilities, though there are several in the
county, take only a few Medicaid patients - that the County Nursing
Home is the only place that accepts more than a small fraction.<br>
<br>
I expect that means that if you needed nursing care and Medicaid
would be paying for it, then when applying to one of the private
nursing homes you'd likely be told there was no room for you, or
that it would be a very long wait.<br>

that mostly takes private pay.<br>

<div>Dear Peace,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
Below is a forwarded invitation to help
canvass for the nursing home this weekend.
<br>
<br>
</div>
If you have time, please consider canvassing
(knocking on doors or phone calling) for the
Champaign County Nursing Home issue...<br>
</div>
Saturday, March 25 (today) and Sunday, March
26, 2017<br>
</div>
from 1pm-4pm. (You can help for an hour or all
three)<br>
(see details of where and the wording on the
ballot in the forwarded message below)<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Why do I think canvassing is extremely
important?<br>
</div>
* The entire county will be voting on the issue,
not just the towns of Champaign and Urbana. This
means we need as many people as possible voting.<br>
* We need to educate as many people as possible.
Some people may not even know about the April 4th
election, even more people may not know about the
Nursing Home issue. <br>
</div>
* Increasing taxes is not easy. In these hard times
of the state of Illinois being way behind on paying
its bills, a tax increase could be seem like a
hardship on some people (about $30 for the average
home), but in the long term keeping the nursing home
from being privatized will (I believe) save the
people of the county a lot of money. The county
nursing home takes in people that the privatized
nursing homes don't. <br>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div class="yiv0819864968gmail_quote">*
Privatizing services seems to be the
way everything is going and people
seem to be willing to let this happen.
Because of this privatization, our
county no longer has many of the
services every community needs in
order to be healthy. A nursing home
for our seniors and recovering
patients is one of those services that
is vital; we all benefit from having
it. I am willing to pay to keep it.
Once something is privatized, we no
longer have oversight as a community.

consider helping to get the word out.
