Tell Congress to Oppose Cuts to Medicaid and to Preserve the Nursing Home Staffing Rule
Take ActionEXPAND
Tell Your Members of Congress Not to Cut Billions of Dollars from Medicaid and to Preserve the Nursing Home Staffing Rule
The House of Representatives is considering cuts to the Medicaid program that could exceed $800 billion. In addition, some in Congress are seeking to block the nursing home minimum staffing standard from going into effect. These actions would have devastating consequences for individuals receiving long-term care. Contact your members of Congress and tell them to oppose the budget resolution, cuts to Medicaid, and efforts to block the nursing home staffing rule.
