Countdown: Rule change protects negligent nursing home corporations 

Countdown with Keith Olbermann
February 25, 2009

Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC reports on a rule that President Bush silently pushed through before leaving office, protecting the $144 billion nursing home industry.  Occurring without any public notice or comment, the rule prevents families from receiving critical information about loved ones abused or neglected in nursing facilities.

Bloomberg has more on this rule that protects negligent nursing homes while leaving patients without details of government investigations into abuse and neglect.
