MANCHIN INTRODUCES BIPARTISAN PROTECTING RURAL SENIORS' ACCESS TO CARE ACT

Press Release

Date: Dec. 8, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Senior Citizens Health and Health Care

"Our nation's nursing and long-term care facilities are facing severe staffing shortages, threatening access to vital care for seniors everywhere. That struggle is amplified in rural areas and this mandate from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services would lead to closures of facilities and reduce the number of patients permitted. I will continue working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to protect rural healthcare services across West Virginia and the country."
