HR 1303 United States House · 119th Congress

Protecting America’s Seniors’ Access to Care Act

HR 1303, the Protecting America’s Seniors’ Access to Care Act, would block the federal government from enforcing a 2024 rule requiring nursing homes to meet minimum staffing standards and mandating Medicaid programs to report payment transparency details. This bill directly affects long-term care facilities and Medicaid programs by preventing the implementation of these specific requirements. The legislation prohibits the Secretary of Health and Human Services from carrying out the rule published on May 10, 2024, which was designed to improve care quality and accountability in senior healthcare. It stops the rule from taking effect without creating new policies or regulations.
