MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT POLICIES TO PROTECT ACCESS TO MEDICARE HOME HEALTH

The Partnership for Quality Home Healthcare (the Partnership) announced the results of a newly conducted national public opinion poll on the Medicare Home Health Program. The poll found widespread and deep support for Medicare home health care services and the need to prevent Medicare cuts to home healthcare.

The poll, conducted by Morning Consult on behalf of the Partnership, found that nearly all Medicare beneficiaries (97 percent) want the federal government to maintain Medicare coverage for at-home health care services and nine in ten (88 percent) believe it is important for Congress to pass legislation that would prevent the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) proposed cuts to Medicare home health services.
