Biden administration officials at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) want to renew an Obama-era regulation that allowed labor unions to skim an estimated $1 billion from Medicaid payments to home health care providers.
The proposal “will place a federal stamp of approval on abusive state and union practices to pressure, mislead, and ultimately lock home-care providers into assigning portions of their Medicaid payments to union special interest groups and associated funds,” the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation (NRTWLDF) said in a comment on the plan.
