The American Health Care Association (AHCA) and Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care are encouraging healthcare workers to contact their legislators and encourage them to "preserve, protect and defend quality skilled nursing and rehabilitative care for seniors and people with disabilities."
The organizations are concerned that planned cuts to Medicare and Medicaid will threaten the senior population's access to quality care and maintain that nursing homes, SNFs and assisted living facilities can both create local jobs and help defend against rising healthcare costs.
