Nursing homes to Biden: not so fast
The nursing home industry is suing to stop the Biden administration’s new nursing home staffing rule, my colleague Tara Bannow reports.
The suit was filed by the industry’s largest trade group, the American Health Care Association, a Texas-based counterpart, and three Texas nursing homes. It’s not the first health care group to file a lawsuit in Texas to try to get a favorable ruling against the Biden administration — PhRMA tried the same tactic recently, but a judge tossed out the suit in February.
