	Description:		Ontario will require seniors currently in hospitals but deemed well enough to live in LTC facilities to accept an offered space in such a facility even if it is a long distance from the senior's home and family. More details to come. Senior who refuse will be charged significant daily fee for hospital stay, as though they were uninsured patients. Guest: Marc (has been updating us on the situation facing his 97 year old father in ON). Marc's father was recently set to move from a private LTC facility to a hospice. His father though died the next day. Marc then received an invoice from the private LTC facility demanding payment for time his father never spent at the facility (he's dead, remember). The facility's policy is they must receive 30 days notice of moving out and that clients must pay a month in advance. Marc wanted a refund for 17 days of the month his dad didn't spend in the facility and the private facility's response was you didn't provide us the 30 days notice of moving out, so you owe us that extra money.
