The private business seems to have their nose a little out of joint. They are furious that the State of Wisconsin funded a public service that for decades has protected and taken care of and nurtured less fortunate citizens of our society. The private business, in this case, Bethesda Lutheran Communities, seems irate that they will not be getting the public dollars to sustain and/or increase their profit margin.
The State of Wisconsin does not operate the specialty centers, meaning; Northern Centers, Central Centers and Southern Centers to make a profit, like a private business would. Instead, the Wisconsin Centers operate solely for the purpose of providing safety and dignity for the resident as the top objectives and no service, materials or goods are cut for the resident for the sake of meeting a profit goal.
Get over it Mr. John E. Bauer, President & CEO of Bethesda Lutheran Opportunities. Your private business of setting an objective of making a profit off of those in our society who need the government assistance is what is outrageous. NO PRIVATE BUSINESS in the United States should be making a profit off of American citizens who need medical help.
