Key Points
- This bill changes how the government helps pay for nursing schools and other health care training programs based in hospitals. It allows hospitals to count more of their spending—like teacher salaries and office support—as costs that Medicare should help cover.
- It helps hospitals that work with partner groups, like a university or a larger health system, to share the costs of training. This makes it easier for different organizations to work together to teach new nurses without losing federal funding.
- The bill also stops the government from taking back money it already gave hospitals for these training costs. If the government took money back from a hospital for these reasons in the last six years, it must now pay that money back to the hospital.
- By making it cheaper and easier for hospitals to run these schools, the goal is to graduate more nurses and health workers to help fix the current national shortage.
