Date:8/21/2009

ization data.

In crafting a final bill, Luxem also urged lawmakers to take into account the fact the Medicaid program already under funds the cost of providing care by at least $36 million in Kansas according to Eljay, LLC, thereby already placing enormous stress on facilities and staff before federal Medicare cuts even enter the picture. "As it moves forward with reform, we believe Congress should preserve and protect seniors' Medicare-funded nursing home care," added Luxem, "and we respectfully ask lawmakers to do so when Congress reconvenes in September."
