RFK Jr and Trump rolled back a Biden regulation that required nursing care homes that received Medicare and Medicaid payments to have a registered nurse on site 24/7.
Effective January 1st — those rules no longer apply.

It can't be repeated enough - in an attempt to stay in office against the will of the voters, Trump incited a deadly insurrection against our government in which hundreds of police officers were beaten for hours and our Capitol was ransacked.
And the GOP thought he should face zero consequences.
