GOP Governors and Nursing Homes Clash Over Staffing Requirements
TL;DR Summary
Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb is among 15 GOP governors who signed a letter to President Biden opposing the federal government's proposed nursing home staffing requirements. The letter comes in response to concerns about staffing shortages and poor care in nursing homes, including cases of rape and murder. Some Indiana nursing homes divert funds to county hospitals, making it difficult to ensure adequate staffing. While advocates argue that mandatory minimum staffing requirements can improve care, Holcomb prefers managed care as a solution to reform Indiana's long-term care system.
