特朗普总统周一宣布了一项价值数亿美元的计划,旨在招募和留住养老院护士。
President Trump announced Monday an initiative worth hundreds of millions of dollars to recruit and retain nursing home nurses.
特朗普在周一晚间的一条 Truth Social 帖子中说:“特朗普政府自豪地宣布一项 2.5 亿美元以上的计划,用于招募和留住养老院护士!”
“The Trump Administration is proud to announce a 250 MILLION DOLLAR PLUS initiative to RECRUIT and RETAIN Nurses for Nursing Homes!”Trump said in a Truth Social post Monday evening.
总统补充道:“这项联邦和州计划将支持全国成千上万的护士和护理专业学生,包括那些服务农村社区的人员。”
“This Federal and State Initiative will support thousands and thousands of Nurses and Nursing Students Nationwide, including those serving rural communities,” the president added.
特朗普在帖子中说,该计划将由医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心(CMS)负责,并将为护士提供“在农村社区或人员不足设施工作最高 5 万美元的补助金”。
Trump said in the post that the initiative will be under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and that it will provide nurses “up to $50,000 in Grants for working in rural communities or understaffed facilities.”
总统说:“在我介入并让我们伟大的州长们加入斗争之前,这笔资金只有这个数额的近三分之一。现在,我们更多不可思议的护士可以因帮助我们了不起的老年人而得到奖励。”
“This Fund was nearly a THIRD of this amount until I stepped in, and had our Great Governors join the fight. Now many more of our Incredible Nurses can be rewarded for helping our Fantastic Seniors,” the president said.
本月早些时候,参议院民主党人公布了改革美国长期护理体系的目标,包括居家护理和养老院护理。
Earlier this month, Senate Democrats published aims of overhauling the American long-term care system, including both home care and nursing homes.
参议员罗恩·怀登(民主党-俄勒冈州)当时说:“国会已有数十年没有对长期护理基础设施和融资进行全面的、系统层面的投资。而系统层面的投资正是所需要的。”
“It has been decades since Congress enacted a comprehensive, system-level investment in long-term care infrastructure and financing. And a system-level investment is what is needed.”Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said at the time.
