NAELA Calls on Speaker Johnson and Minority Leader Jeffries to Stop Harmful Medicaid Provisions

May 20, 2025

NAELA sent a letter from President Judith M. Flynn to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries arguing against three provisions in the budget reconciliation package that would significantly harm our members’ clients. These include:

  • Shortening the retroactive coverage period from 90 days to 30 days;
  • Postponing the eligibility and enrollment rules from taking effect until 2035; and
  • Delaying the nursing home staffing rule until 2035.
