Covering His Tracks - Television Ad

The Association for Home and Hospice Care released a new television ad today, responding to State Senator Doug Bergers claim that thousands of elderly home care patients on Medicaid arent eligible for care.

Senator Berger made a mistake, said Tim Rogers, CEO of the Association for Home and Hospice Care of North Carolina. He said 20,000 elderly patients dont need the care they receive but the report he cites doesnt say that and hes been told by the Department of Health and Human Services hes wrong. In fact, the report he cites didnt include an examination of even a single patient so it cant say theyre not eligible for or dont need care.
