Iowa Senators Split Over Nursing Home Arbitration Rules
Iowa's two senators resist joining Democrats in opposing forced arbitration in long term care contracts. The CMS under the Trump administration seeks to drop a proposed rule barring pre-dispute arbitration clauses in Medicare and Medicaid funded facilities, despite broad support from consumer advocates and 31 Senate Democrats. Grassley notes enforcement of care standards and reporting abuses, while Ernst emphasizes safety and review of final rule.
