"I support the idea of giving people more information to help them choose a nursing home. It's easier to get information about buying a car than choosing a nursing home. Unfortunately, it's often easier to change cars than change nursing homes if you get a bad one. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is on the right track. This project has a lot of potential to help nursing home consumers. However, it has to be done right. As I've said before, incomplete or misleading information can be worse than no information. It'll be important to watch the progress and results of the six-state demonstration project before the project goes nationwide. I've asked the General Accounting Office to monitor the demonstration project and give an independent review of what works and what doesn't."
