The well documented nursing facility funding crisis
|
|
|
needs immediate attention and must be addressed
|
|
|
regardless of whether the federal government
|
|
|
approves the proposed IGT program expansion.
|
|
|
| • |
If IGT funding increases are not secured, it is
|
|
|
estimated that GPR funding increases of $46 million
|
|
|
in 2000-01 and $63 million in 2002-03 will be
|
|
|
necessary to fund the Governor’s nursing facility
|
|
|
budget.
|

|

WAHSA and its members pledge to continue
|
|
|
working with the Governor and Legislature in
|
|
|
addressing the needs of Wisconsin’s nursing facility
|
|
residents, staff and communities.
