So, I don’t understand how getting federal funds through anything, but especially medicare would make you immune to lawsuits? What a crazy legal opinion to start with - glad to see that made it to the right decision on the court.
However, the later reference to “the spending power” - are they implying Thomas is going to try and declare medicare unconstitutional? I used to think that sort of thing would get people to vote against republicans, but at this point I think many voters would vote for getting kicked out of their own houses and shot if it was team red. IDK.
Right, and you could already sue nursing homes for malpractice.
The question was about violations that did not amount to malpractice (in this case, the conditions of transfer and the type of safety measures used). Malpractice is substandard care that leads to injury, but nobody here seems to allege that the nursing home caused an injury.
