Show Notes
Nursing homes in New York are grappling with stagnant Medicaid reimbursement rates for nearly two decades, leading to closures and potential loss of vital care for seniors. Governor Hochul proposed a $1.5 billion boost, but nursing homes argue they need at least half to cover long-term care costs. Staff shortages and strained services threaten access to care, while hospitals face their own pressures from Medicaid cuts and uncompensated care burdens. As talks continue, balancing support for both sectors could ease the strain and protect care for vulnerable New Yorkers.
