Fox News: Federal judge blocks Biden nursing home staffing mandate
A Texas federal judge has invalidated a Biden-era mandate requiring nursing homes to meet specific nurse-to-patient staffing ratios. U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk ruled that the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services lacked the authority to impose such standards without considering individual facility needs.
