All the state board of health cares about is compliance, which drives up costs. The legislators are plain negligent on the subject.

Between the drug seekers, homeless, mentally ill, and grossly obese the system is over burdened by people who should not be in it. Group homes would be a much cheaper option for many of these patients (if you're of the mind it's the states duty to care for them at all).

Long term care centers are a huge financial drain on our health care, it's very frustrating that nothing is being done to reduce regulation and costs in this sector. I've never heard any one talk about it during healthcare debates! The conversation always seems to be about shifting around who pays for costs, not how to reduce them.
