“Whether we’re talking about nursing homes or assisted living, the issues are largely the same. Too often, those segments act like they’re in competition. But we always say this: we agree on about 85% of the issues — and we should be screaming together about that 85%. It’s the same in hospitals and home care. This ‘one-voice’ advocacy concept we’ve been pushing is gaining traction, and that’s how we prevent things like trillion-dollar Medicaid cuts from happening again.”
