IN THE NEWS Fight for Hospital
Bills Continue to SACRAMENTO — Assembly Bill 900 is proving to be a popular bill with state legislators. The bill which is designed to reverse cuts to the Medi-Cal rates paid to hospital based skilled-care or long-term facilities sailed through the Assembly Budget Committee with 100% support from both Democrats and Republican committee members. It was heard in the Assembly Appropriations Committee May 8 . According to State Senator Jim Nielsen,
If the funding cuts are allowed to stand,
hospital-based skilled nursing facilities,
already decimated by low Medi-Cal
reimbursement rates that don’t cover the cost
of current care, will lose another 25-40
percent of their funding. This will result in
the closure of facilities or drastically
reduced services in rural communities.
