Script of "Say No To Lunsford" (TV)

(Text on screen: W. Bruce Lunsford; Former CEO, Vencor Nursing Homes; Department of Justice: “Submitted False Claims To Medicare.” -- 03.19.01)

DALE CARTER COOPER: He’s the last person in the world I’d want in the Senate. Mr. Lunsford -- his business practices are totally unethical.... Did not have enough compassion, evicting elderly people from nursing homes… abuse.

I can’t think of anything worse than to be out in the cold so there’s nowhere to turn, no place to go, no person to appeal to.

(Text on Screen: The Wall Street Journal: “…Giving Bonuses To Employees Who Evicted” Medicade recipients; Department of Justice: “Largest failure of care settlement to date”)

GREG FISCHER [v/o]: I’m Greg Fischer, and I approve this message.
