I have all of the emails with the names and reviews that google removed after my reinstatement, what in the world can I do? They're saying they can't find them but I have them clear as day

Any other Americans feel like reading about the revolutionary war is pretty "brutal" compared to our other wars we won?

- I have never read about other wars in which "my side" consistently lost every battle, or was so thoroughly outmatched at a tactical / strategy level. In my deep recent dive, I'm at 1778 and I'm just baffled by how many brutal battles we lost (and frankly, at why GW was considered such a great general given the cavalcade of losses. But I get he was more than just a "general" and that is clear...).

- reading about the Civil War South v North, I've always empathized with the North (for political & family reasons)

- WW2 we did much more winning than losing

- WW1 was a slog fest for everyone not just Americans, and we were never so brutally outmanuevered and outclassed

- Korea / Vietnam I know almost 0 about

The fact that they / we didn't fire GW, and that they didn't give up after losing Philadelphia and basically 9/10 battles for 3 years is a testament to how against the war the population was.

My quick hot take is that if Burgoyne landed his 10k troops in NY to support Howe and forgot about Canada then the revolution probably would have been brutally crushed.

But anyways, insane that militias and folks ket signing up for the arms while basically every regiment got massacred.

I own a non-medicaid, private pay HHC and am looking at providing medicaid services. I see family-based-caregivers bill 40-50 hrs per week through medicaid, compared to 15hrs/week for 3rd party medicaid providers... why is there this huge gap / is this legitimate or what?

I am interested in providing services to medicaid patients, and I'm seeing 2 business models:

  1. 3rd party medicaid caregivers, like what we do but via medicaid vs private pay

  2. family based caregivers, where a family member provides the care to a another family member

What I'm seeing is that Long Term Home Care Medicaid providers are typically billing patients 15hrs per week on average - it is rare to have patients get 30+ hrs of treatment. However, the family based care cases, i am seeing 40-50 hrs per week billed and paid to the family based caregivers.

I know that doctors / medicaid has to approve the # of hours, but I wonder:

- is this a case of folks who use 3rd party medicaid providers not using all of the hours allotted to them, and family based caregivers maximizing their time?

Or something else?

Thank you in advance for your insight

Google suspended my GBP profile, then we submitted verification and it was rejected. I posted on GBP forums, followed the instructions, and Google reinstated our profile - but as a BRAND NEW profile, and removed all of our reviews.

I have spent the last 10 years gather reviews from my clients, this is how they find us, and this is how they know we are a trusted service provider - and google removed ALL OF THEM. 100+ reviews that took me a decade or more to get.

I feel heartbroken and I'm not sure what to do. Some random Google sytem that flagged and suspended me, then failed to re-verify me, has basically given 100% of my business away to my competitors and I don't know where to turn. 

Can anyone help, please?
