Yesterday, November 12, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Senate Amendment to H.R. 5371, the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026, sending it to the President for signature and officially ending the 43-day government shutdown - the longest in U.S. history.

In addition to funding the government, the legislation includes several provisions important to the care at home community; including updates related to telehealth, hospice surveys, statutory PAYGO, and veterans affairs.

Home health cuts ripple through communities. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has proposed slashing the Medicare home health benefit by more than $1 billion next year — endangering the services provided by this skilled workforce and robbing Medicare beneficiaries of the care they spent decades paying into.

For clinicians and the patients they serve, the consequences of this cut could be dire. Read more from Houston Chronicle: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/home-health-care-medicare-texas-cuts-21145298.php

Special Who Cares Episode Alert! 🚨 Protect Home Health Care. Stop Dangerous Payment Cuts.

The clock is ticking, but our work to protect home health care continues. With the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) final rule dropping any day, we're releasing a special episode of Who Cares that every provider, policymaker, and advocate needs to hear.

When home health agencies are forced to scale back services, turn away patients, or close their doors, it's not just a business decision. Years of compounding payment cuts have disrupted care for millions of Americans who depend on recovering at home, and CMS's proposed payment adjustment for 2026 represents over $1 billion in further cuts that could accelerate agency closures, extend wait times, and limit access to essential services when they're needed most.

In this episode, hosts Dr. Steve Landers and Elyssa Katz break down how years of federal payment reductions are creating a crisis in access, why the proposed 2026 cuts threaten the sustainability of home health care, and how the Alliance is working with the broader home health community to stop these payment cuts and protect home health care.

The time to act is NOW. Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/hk76KxrTFq0?si=1_uV2DYePDgLTNmG

Today, we honor the brave individuals who have served and sacrificed for our nation. Their commitment reminds us of the responsibility we share to provide care that recognizes their service and meets their unique needs.

As we reflect this Veterans Day, we encourage providers and communities to explore valuable We Honor Veterans resources that support high-quality, veteran-centric care:
🌟 Honor Veterans with ceremonies of recognition: https://www.wehonorveterans.org/working-for-veterans/honoring-veterans/
🌟 Identify Veteran-centric providers via the Partner Directory: https://www.wehonorveterans.org/partner-directory/
🌟 Gain knowledge of Veterans’ unique needs and risk factors through pre-recorded webinars: https://www.wehonorveterans.org/resource-library/?fwp_resource_type=webinar
🌟 Provide holistic care attentive to patients’ physiological and psychosocial needs: https://www.wehonorveterans.org/resources/va-whole-health-resources/

These tools help ensure every Veteran receives care that acknowledges their service and honors their story.

Let’s continue honoring and supporting those who have served – today and every day.

Home health serves as a lifeline in communities across the country, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is getting ready to make a costly mistake.

Dr. Steve Landers, CEO for the Alliance, recently wrote an op-ed in Chief Healthcare Executive emphasizing that if CMS follows through with its plan to cut 9% of home health funding in 2026, patients will suffer.
