It's our money they are stealing!

It has been two weeks since my last post. As of today, I still have not received a response to the letter I mailed on April 24, 2014. The letter was sent to Aldona Wos Secretary of the NCDHHS, Governor Pat McCrory, CMS, and several law enforcement agencies. The letter asks for an explanation of why  the investigation of  Hendersonvlle Health and Rehabilitation contained false statements and inaccuracies. Todd Davis, Kim Britt and Paul Yockey did the supposed "investigation".
In the summary there are several statements that contain conflicting information. There are also quite a few times that statements are made that have no supporting facts. The investigation is a joke, and the head of the NCDHHS doesn't seem to be concerned. These investigations allow the nursing homes to remain licensed, even when lives are being lost due to the violations of regulations they are paid to enforce.
If you have read my posts, you are probably familiar with the things I mention above.
I have repeatedly contacted employees of the NCDHHS, CMS, Governor McCrory and members of the Senate and Congress. For two and a half years, I have been pushing them to do their jobs. The responses I have received imply that it is not my right to doubt them. This just proves that if you question anything that is putting money into their pockets, you are the bad guy.
I was recently speaking to a Congressman and he even admitted that these people will ignore you and run you in circles till you go away. That's not going to happen in this case. I will continue to pursue the truth and strive to have the laws changed to stop these people from stealing Medicare dollars. They are stealing money from you and I, and apparently that's acceptable to most people.
I have an acquaintance, that told me their mother was at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation and they were double billing Medicare. The mother would call them and they would suggest that they would look into the bills. They were never corrected, and nothing was done about it. Another person called me and told me that DR. Russell was treating her for sleep apnea, and supplying her with a cpap machine. When she changed doctors, they told her she did not have sleep apnea.
There are more stories and I have names and contact information.  That's our money folks, they are stealing our money! I work hard to pay my bills and I personally find it hard to swallow. There are plenty of sick people who need treatment, why does Dr. Russell have to falsely diagnose patients. Cant he simply treat patients and provide the appropriate care, or is it that easy to steal from Medicare and private insurance companies.  
I have seen many stories on the news about how they caught someone fraudulently obtaining benefits from Medicare or the NCDHHS. Believe me that's small potatoes compared to the money that the operators like SanStone and Dr. Larry Joe Russell are stealing. The difference is that the agencies that are supposed to enforce and investigate are controlled by the politicians who owe their positions to these thieves.
The problem is the way businesses contribute to political campaigns. Obviously this is not just an issue with nursing homes, it affects all industries. It is the reason we are eating food contaminated with hazardous chemicals, damaging our ecosystem by allowing fracking, the list goes on and on. The nursing home owners are serious contributors to republicans and democrats alike. The party affiliation is not important, as long as they "earn" there campaign funds after the election.
We are taught from an early age that democracy guarantees that our vote counts. Have you seen the children come home from school with the little  "I voted" stickers. They come home and they are so proud of the fact that they "voted". As a parent it is difficult for me not to explain to them that politicians are not always honest? Should I explain to my son that corporate money is what is controlling the politicians, or do I let him believe his vote will actually make a difference?
We can only hope that there are some politicians that care about more than just money. However in order to get elected, they are relying on corporate campaign contributions. If they get elected and want to stay in office, they have to be careful who's toes they step on. America is being governed by the influence of corporations. I'm sure this is not a surprise to anyone, but why do we allow them to get away with it. How do you stop the cycle if they are the ones making the laws?

Shame on you, Todd Davis, Kim Britt, Paul Yockey, Aldona Wos and Pat McCrory

For the record, I sent a letter to Secretary Aldona Wos of the NCDHHS on April 24, 2014. The letter was pretty simple, it was about the lack of effectiveness of the local DHSR. I offer to share information that would prove that the nursing home inspection process is flawed. I also sent the same letter to Pat McCrory, and others that should be concerned. Still have not received any response. Not even the typical " we appreciate your concern but ... " letter.

What is up with the NCDHHS, are they above making mistakes,or simply not to be held accountable for the ones they do make. One would hope that if there was a private citizen with concerns, they would be taken seriously. Basically from what I've seen , if you disagree with the NCDHHS, that's your problem. Even the State director ( DR. Wos ) doesn't care enough to consider that there may be a problem.
Is there no one watching over this agency at the local level? I thought that by going to the State Secretary of the NCDHHS something would happen. I was definitely wrong about that. What about Governor Pat McCrory, as a citizen of North Carolina am I not entitled to a response? How much do you have to contribute to ones campaign to get an answer to a letter?
Politicians are supposed to be working for the good of the people. If that is the case, how can they ignore their concerns ? I have documentation that shows how little effort is put into the nursing home inspection process. Either someone made a mistake, or simply lied to protect the nursing home operators.
Todd Davis, Kim Britt and Paul Yockey, are the ones who conducted the investigation. I say you should all be ashamed of yourselves. How can you walk by the terrible things happening at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation and ignore them. What if your mother or father were residents there. Would you be able to sleep at night, knowing what you know?
I don't see how anyone with a conscience could possibly ignore what happens in these places. I could not imagine how much you would have to be paid to let this happen. There must be a considerable amount of "benefits" to look the other way. What makes it even worse, is that my tax dollars are being used to pay you.
Talk to the nurses at Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation and they will tell you they are understaffed. Talk to the residents, they will tell you they had to wait three or four days for a shower. Talk to the cna's and they will tell you there is no way they can do everything they are supposed to in one shift. Talk to the administrators, they will tell you how " It's their passion that makes the Difference ". Talk to the NCDHSR, they will tell you there were " no deficiencies found ". Again I say shame on you, Todd Davis, Kim Britt and Paul Yockey.
I say to the NCDHSR, Governor McCrory and Aldona Wos, do your jobs. Protect and serve the citizens of North Carolina, not the wealthy businessmen who own the nursing homes. Go into Hendersonville Health and Rehabilitation and stay for a week. Sleep in one of the urine soaked beds. Wait for them to give you a shower. Eat the same cold food as the rest of the residents. After a week  come out and say you couldn't find any deficiencies!
