The administration of President Donald Trump has announced its intent to roll back regulations placed on nursing homes enacted during the previous administration, leaving some worried what might happen to elderly individuals housed in such facilities, NPR reported Saturday.
According to NPR reporter Ina Jaffe, the Trump administration, which has made rolling back various Obama-era regulations on industries across the board a cornerstone of its policy – said it plans to reduce regulations on the nursing home industry incases where they view such regulation as “burdensome” or “inflexible,” the NPR reporter said.
The administration reportedly has suggested that the proposed changes could save nursing homes some $600 million a year, though as NPR noted, the proposed regulation reduction wouldn’t require that any savings be sent on improving patient care, which is what the administration suggested the savings would go toward.
