NYT reports that the GAO will be issuing reporting condemning oversight of nursing homes

The New York Times reports in a story that next week, the Government Accountability Office will issue a report that concludes that the Department of Health and Human Services “fails to hold [nursing] homes with a long history of harming residents accountable for the poor care provided”.  The report will also state that “[s]ome of these homes repeatedly harmed residents over a six-year period and yet remain in the Medicare and Medicaid programs”.
