(INTRO)
As Congress examines ways
to reduce the federal deficit, the American Health Care
Association (AHCA) and the Alliance for Quality Nursing
Home Care have partnered together to ensure federal
and state lawmakers understand the vital need to preserve,
protect and defend seniors' access to quality skilled
nursing and rehabilitative care.
Claire Navaro, spokesperson
for AHCA, says health care facilities are feeling the
impact of coping with billions of dollars in reductions
from health care reform, federal regulations and Medicaid
underfunding.

CUTS TO MEDICARE AND MEDICAID
MAY LIMIT ACCESS TO QUALITY CARE FOR OUR GROWING POPULATION
OF SENIORS. NURSING HOMES, SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES,
AND ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES - THEY ARE ALL PART OF
THE SOLUTION TO BOTH RISING HEALTH CARE COSTS AND LOCAL
JOB CREATION. WE NEED CITIZENS TO TALK WITH THEIR MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS. TELL THEM TO PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND
QUALITY CARE FOR SENIORS AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
