Quality of care is a concept most important to our vulnerable populations, including the elderly. When the government pays for nursing care for the elderly, it expects that it is paying for quality care. When the quality is substandard, as it was with Tucker House II, the government can and will use the False Claims Act to recover monies paid.
医疗质量是一个对包括老年人在内的弱势群体极为重要的概念。当政府为老年人的护理付费时,它期望所支付的是高质量的护理。当质量不合标准时,就像塔克之家二号那样,政府能够且将会利用《虚假索赔法》来追回已支付的款项。
