Washington sued over assisted living spending cuts

Faced with a budget shortfall this year, Washington Democratic lawmakers relied on spending cuts and other maneuvers to make ends meet.

For one, they trimmed tens of millions of dollars in state funding for assisted living facilities that care for patients on Medicaid.

The state is now being sued over that decision.

Washington’s leading assisted living organizations last week filed the suit. They say it will make it harder to attract caregivers and also reduce access for those on Medicaid, the insurance program for low-income residents.
