A new lawsuit filed by the city of San Francisco on behalf of the state of California alleges that over the past five years, the state of Nevada has dumped 1,500 mental patients onto other states by putting them them on Greyhound busses and sending them over state lines with no prior arrangements with families or other mental hospitals once they arrive.

According to the federal class action lawsuit that the city of San Francisco is spearheading, nearly all of the patients bussed to California need continuous medical care—none of which Nevada state arranged, and all of which cost the city of San Francisco at least $500,000.

it's incredible that anyone would be so callous. OK, so maybe some of the bussed patients were actually California residents on vacation, but this is not the way to deal with them, and just one "mistake" is too many.

The hospital has lost its accreditation and may lose its Medicare payments but some licenses should be pulled and maybe worse...
