Michigan State Health Department Refuses To Release Nursing Home Data
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is covering up state data to show the extent of devastation from Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer s repeated orders last year which forced COVID-stricken patients into nursing homes.
Whitmer signed an executive order on April 15 demanding long-term care facilities must not prohibit admission or readmission of a resident based on COVID-19 testing requirements or results, and renewed the policy several times until it was rescinded in September. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo passed similar orders last year and engaged in a cover-up which has left the governor in the fight for his political life against calls for impeachment.
Whitmer, who now faces potential criminal charges of her own, appears to be engaging in a cover-up as her administration heads to court to keep state death data on nursing homes hidden from public view.
