I am here and I am gong to continue to look at this money machine sucking up the best of our most vulnerable. ?Little children and veterans...and the elderly.
I want this place shut down and I have and will continue to pursue this until places like this are non existent. ? Scott ...your private healtcare system is going to be as obsolete as you real soon. ?Your idea of green on the backs of blood is going to stop !

The snake pits are going to get cleaned up. ?We no longer live in a world of labotomy and electric shock treatment. ?There is supposed to be some type of oversight. ?I think Seibeillus needs to review the DCF and their idea of mental healthcare.

We are Kossacks and we are activists and we can organize and we will get these places shut.. One by One. ?

All healthcare roads lead to old Baldy himself... http://eon.businesswire.com/...

And the Huffington Post article.. The Pines.. Not to be confused with the Vines but
Rick Santorum sits on the board and Scott is involved so they are probably all pretty much alike

The Pines had long teetered on the brink of a shutdown, but the UHS takeover of the facility appears to have erased what standards had been put in place. A short time after the facility fell under UHS control in mid-November, it earned serious punitive sanctions. Two months into the company's tenure, a sense of lawlessness pervaded the facility, according to a review of documents obtained by The Huffington Post through a public records request.

North Carolina, which had sent more than 100 kids to The Pines, stopped doing so this past spring, when that state's Division of Medical Assistance, along with other agencies, found widespread and systemic breakdowns in how the facility treated its children, according to the documents. In mid-April, the state concluded that it had to pull all 140 or so of its children -- including T. -- out of The Pines, according to email records.

Virginia has since barred new admissions and slapped the facility with a provisional license. According to the documents, Virginia inspectors found that Pines staff had been caught watching a pornographic DVD with residents, that one resident admitted to selling drugs and buying drugs from a Pines employee and that records concerning the care of one resident had been "fabricated."

In a statement released to The Huffington Post, Universal Health Services defended its practices: "The Pines management team is continually reviewing clinical programming, procedures and staff training to enhance the provision of safe, effective, and patient-centered treatment," the company statement reads. "The Pines is actively addressing any and all concerns relating to the treatment of our residents."

UHS would neither confirm nor deny whether T. contracted herpes at The Pines
