Governor Ends Nursing Homes’ Payday Loan Drama
This was something that needed to be done long ago. Rather it shouldn’t have been encouraged in the first place. Agreed payday loans have their benefits, but the minus points outnumber the pluses. So how could nursing homes operate on-site payday loan centers? Thankfully, this will soon be a thing of the past as Missouri Governor Mat Blunt took a strong stand and announced that this practice would not continue any longer.
This practice is not only wrong it is also unethical. How do you justify employers who make money off the wages they pay their hardworking long-term care facility employees? Blunt said long-term care rules allow only activities necessary to or directly related to the administration of the facility to operate within the facility and payday loans definitely don’t meet the criteria.
