I could quit." Cowhey said he would try not to work hardship on nursing homes. Two operators expressed concern some homes might be forced out of business if the rules went into immediate effect.

Miss Margaret Ranok of Car thage said 400 of the approximately 600 nursing homes in Illinois could be forced out of business by the "do it now" rule.
