   A Navy veteran suffering from a series of deadly conditions was   
   evicted by an Iowa nursing home because he was unable to pay his   
   medical bills, The Des Moines Register reported.   
      
   John Chedester, 65, a veteran who required supervised care, was   
   reportedly suffering from a blood infection, congestive heart   
   failure and other ailments in November when he was sent to a   
   vacant apartment until a neighbor and police intervened and   
   rushed him to a nearby hospital.   
      
   "We would have found a dead body there the next day," Sgt. Roger   
   Krohn from the Monona County Sheriff's Department told the   
   paper. He went on to say, according to the report, that the   
   conditions were so bad that a tenant in the building brought   
   Chedester a blanket, silverware and a microwave oven.   
      
   Kathleen James, the neighbor, told the paper she called the   
   nursing home and said, "He can't even walk to the refrigerator.   
   Are you for real? I said, 'This is a Navy vet, somebody who   
   fought for our country.'"   
      
   He has since returned to the Elmwood Care Centre of Onawa, which   
   was fined $5,752 by the federal government, the report said. A   
   spokeswoman from the nursing home's management company told The   
   Des Moines Register that the company does not condone the way   
   the staff handled the situation.   
      
   The spokeswoman said Chedester did not cooperate with staff when   
   they tried to sign him up for Medicaid, which would have paid   
   for his care.

   What happened to Obama Care?  Why didn't it take care of this   
   veteran?
