Doron Raz, Chairman of the Association of Nursing Associations, responds in an interview to "Today" about the claims that the nursing associations are profiting off the backs of the elderly • "Good care at home" he says "is cheaper than hospitalization in a geriatric institution and therefore it is in the public interest" • "The possibility of receiving money in lieu of care has led to a jump of about 70% in the number of nursing homes in the last 4 years"
