The 2006 budget (which will go into effect this summer) includes a proposed $42 million cut in Medicaid payments to nursing homes. This comes on top of funding cuts in each of the last 2 years. The shortfalls these reductions in funding will generate will affect care and staffing levels in our nursing homes regardless of whether a resident is on Medicaid or private pay. Your legislators can restore this funding. Call your legislator TODAY! With enough calls from their constituents asking them to do so, they will.
