So I don't know about your states, but In Vermont, nursing homes are shutting down. They're understaffed, underfunded. Well, yeah, I mean, they called it their big beautiful bill. It was beautiful for billionaires. For everybody else, it sucks. When they cut Medicaid, they cut the primary insurer for nursing homes. (20:42–20:48)
