US Edition‘Existential Crisis’: Nursing Homes, Elderly Care to Suffer Under so-Called ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’
Federal Medicaid funding cuts and policy changes could disrupt care for roughly 69,000 Mississippi seniors and people with disabilities, threatening 11 nursing home closures.
- Cutting federal Medicaid support, the new statute signed by President Donald Trump could force 11 Mississippi nursing homes to close, with the United States Senate Committee on Finance identifying the at-risk facilities.
- By cutting retroactive coverage and reversing enrollment rules, the law shortens Medicaid retroactive coverage from three months to two months and adds paperwork, increasing administrative burdens for Mississippi nursing home residents.
- About 74% of Mississippi nursing home residents rely on Medicaid, and advocates estimate the cuts could disrupt care for roughly 69,000 seniors and people with disabilities, while the Congressional Budget Office estimates costs will rise for 1.3 million Medicare beneficiaries.
- Keeping residents housed without reimbursement could force struggling nursing homes to shutter, as unpaid bills and evictions threaten 11 Mississippi facilities, with families facing $5,000 or $6,000 monthly costs.
- As a national shift, advocates say the law will reshape long-term care across the United States and harm nursing homes, while state governments face funding choices and lawmakers say it does not cut Medicare.
