I work in healthcare and the Medicare laws are affecting patients access to home care. The nurses are required to double their paperwork making it harder to get an 8 hour day done in 8 hours. The cutbacks to Medicare caused our agency to loose $27,000 this year alone, and it's only April.

I'm afraid the cutbacks will greatly affect the patient's care and they'll get less services. Our homebound patients and families depend on the nurses to help them live at home safely.
