Walworth County still has a county owned nursing home/rehab center.
I was told by a coworker that the Rock County nursing home is being sold this year. His wife works there.
I agree with not selling to a 'corporation '.

Senators start to worry when people start showing up to their offices to speak their mind instead of just calling. For those of you that want something to *do* in crazy times like this, this is it! This makes a difference!
Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators’ local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB.
Here is their great doc that includes what to say and a complete playbook: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Cru6DBkH5gadq3S-mVhiSU72mC2ZeDHXG93jeiemFH0/preview?tab=t.0[1][2] . It has specific info on what to say if your Senator is a Republican or Democrat.

The residents of Portage County voted to keep this nursing home, and our current county Exec, along with a right leaning county board, are ignoring the will of the voters.

“to see each other” season 2 is a great podcast I’ve been listening to that covers this in detail.

County owned facilities are bad enough.
Privatizing nursing homes is a great way to kill off the elderly, though. They, the facilities, will be disease spewing and corpse stacking nightmares.
