[Peace-discuss] Fwd: Champaign County Dems: On March 22, endorse referenda campaign to save our county nursing home

[kmedina67]

To save the nursing home:* YES to tax increase.* NO to letting the county put the nursing home up for sale.
If the state of illinois were paying the medicare bills, the nursing home would not be in so much trouble right now. 
The federal government gives the medicare money to the state. The state has to pay it out. Illinois has NOT been paying it out. 
The nursing home takes more medicare and Medicaid people than privatized nursing homes

Brothers and sisters, 

















On April 4, Champaign County voters will vote in referenda
to decide whether to save our Champaign County Nursing Home. On March 22,
Champaign County Democrats will vote on whether to endorse the referenda campaign
to save our nursing home. 

 

When the Vermillion County nursing home was privatized, the
new management dramatically cut the staff, contradicting promises they had made
to county officials. [1] Three years later, the nursing home was being cited by
the state for life-threatening abuses. [2] Over the years, the Champaign County
nursing home has tended to thousands of residents. [3] But now, the Champaign
County Chamber of Commerce wants to privatize our nursing home. [4]. We know
where this would lead: more cuts in services for people who need them. 

 

Urge Members of the Champaign County Democratic Central
Committee to vote on March 22 to endorse the referenda campaign to save our
nursing home by signing our petition at MoveOn:

Thanks for all you do for justice,
Robert NaimanChampaign County Democratic Central Committee, Cunningham 18
