Summary: An elderly woman accuses Bruce Lunsford of engaging in "unethical" business practices as a nursing home CEO.
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.
(Text on screen: The Wall Street Journal: Resident "found lying in a ravine…”; “filed for bankruptcy with $1.4 billion in debt; “malnourishment and neglect…”; Say No To Lunsford; Paid For By Fischer For U.S. Senate)
