WBRE-TV news coverage of a press conference and rally at Riverstreet Manor in Wilkes-Barre (PA) on Sept. 3, 2009, opposing the national health care reform proposal's $2.1 billion in Medicare cuts to PA nursing homes. The cuts would force nursing homes to reduce staff and, ultimately, reduce the quality of care to the commonwealth's most vulnerable and frail residents. Please contact your Congressional leader and say "NO!" to Medicare cuts in the health care reform package. You can contact your legislator by visiting www.PaForQualityCare.org.
