For-profit nursing homes have had far worse COVID-19 outcomes than public facilities — and three of the largest paid out $1.5 billion to shareholders

That’s a kind perspective... what if these places are actually financially incentivised (in effect if not intent) to have worse health outcomes? People die? They keep some funding out of the estate. These fees are typically higher if you’re recently arrived. New people buy in? Capital outlay up front.

I’d love to run an investigation into this. Compare public and private across a dozen or so key aspects to see whether it was misfortune, incompetence, involuntary man-slaughter, or manslaughter.
