Bed-tax proposal divides Kansas nursing homes
Kansas nursing homes debate a per bed per day tax to raise about 40 million dollars annually to draw federal Medicaid funds, aiming to boost payments to facilities. Critics say private pay residents would bear the burden, and non profits oppose the plan amid concerns over where funds would go. Officials caution about feasibility and past tax loopholes affecting long term care funding.
