Letters Letter to House Ways and Means Committee on Protecting Rural Seniors’ Access to Care Act

February 29, 2024

Lutheran Services in America, in partnership with the American Health Care Association (AHCA) and 33 of our member organizations across 16 states, addressed a letter to the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee to spur action on the Protecting Rural Seniors’ Access to Care Act (S.3410/H.R. 5796). The bill, which Lutheran Services in America has endorsed, will prohibit the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from finalizing the proposed one-size-fits-all, unfunded skilled nursing facility minimum staffing rule that was released for comment last year by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
