True news - The journalist who made the decision: gr03_25N
A federal judge in Texas, Matthew Kacsmaryk, struck down a Biden administration regulation that required nursing homes to increase the number of nurses and aides. The regulation aimed to improve care quality but was found by the judge to be inconsistent with laws passed by Congress. It required nursing homes to provide at least 3.48 hours of nursing care per resident per day and to have a registered nurse on-site 24/7. According to the industry, meeting these standards would require hiring over 100,000 additional staff and would cost around $6.8 billion annually, potentially leading to the closure of many facilities. Industry organizations and bipartisan members of Congress opposed the regulation. The information comes from CNN and is confirmed by other reliable sources (Reuters, AP, Bloomberg Law), as well as court documents and industry analyses. Based on this, the news is considered true.
