Daines Applauds President Trump, HHS for Supporting Nursing Homes in Rural Montana

HHS Overturns Biden-Era “One-Size-Fits All” Staffing Mandate
U.S. SENATE –U.S. Senator Steve Daines today applauded anannouncementfrom the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services repealing a Biden-era rule that disproportionately burdened Montana’s rural nursing homes.
“Today’s announcement from HHS is a massive win for Montana’s senior citizens, who deserve access to quality long-term care. Biden’s “one-size-fits-all” staffing mandate undermined access to care for patients in our rural communities and more than a dozen Montana nursing homes closed during his administration. I’m grateful to President Trump and his administration for putting the needs of our senior citizens first and for recognizing the workforce challenges that our rural communities face,”said Daines.
