About this Episode

What happens when federal agencies and policymakers quietly gut the key program supporting recovering or managing conditions at home?

In this episode, Dr. Steve Landers and Elyssa Katz unpack the real consequences of proposed payment cuts to the Medicare home health benefit. You’ll learn why home health care is not only preferred by millions of families, but also the most cost effective choice for the American healthcare system—and why reducing funding now will be a disaster later.
