As someone who worked for 20 years in LTC/Skilled Nursing Facilities, this is so important to continue funding. Did you know the average daily bed rate is $285 for a semi-private room? Or $104,025 a year. This does not include medications or personal hygiene supplies when paying privately.

Republicans want to slash Medicaid — a death sentence for thousands of Americans. Medicaid provides health care to more than 37 million kids, funding for 2/3 of seniors in nursing homes & is 40% of the revenue for community health centers.
We must EXPAND Medicaid, not cut it.
