Tell Senators Not to Cut Billions of Dollars from Medicaid and to Preserve the Nursing Home Staffing Rule
Currently, the Senate is considering a reconciliation package (HR 1) that would cut hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid, strip healthcare from 16 million people, delay the implementation of the minimum staffing rule in nursing homes, and likely lead to significant reductions in healthcare services to older and disabled individuals. These cuts would have a devastating impact on recipients of Long Term Supports and Services, including nursing home and assisted living facility residents and recipients of Home and Community Based Services.
