The other thing I want to bring up briefly is for veterans getting access to VA reimbursement in nursing homes, they have to go through a whole additional set of reviews and regulations, which a lot of nursing homes won't do. And If we could just make those reviews and requirements consistent with what CMS requires, I think a lot more nursing homes would accept VA reimbursement for veterans. which is really important to the family because they don't have to dissipate all their resources before they would go on Medicaid Right. And then they can have that veteran in their community. (04:38–04:53)
