The nursing home industry — as well as a healthy number of Congress members — are all pushing back on the Biden administration’s new rules on nursing home staffing. Industry officials say that there are not enough workers to meet the requirements and that the costs would be prohibitive. Meanwhile, Democrats on Capitol Hill are trying to force Republicans to explain their exact positions on assuring access to contraceptives and in vitro fertilization. Rachel Cohrs Zhang of Stat, Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, and Sandhya Raman of CQ Roll Call join �Թϲ�����’ Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews �Թϲ�����’ Bram Sable-Smith, who reported and wrote the latest �Թϲ�����-NPR “Bill of the Month” feature about a free cruise that turned out to be anything but.
