Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the American Health Care Association (AHCA), and nursing home plaintiffs prevailed in a lawsuit challenging a Biden administration rule that may have negatively impacted many of the nearly 1,200 nursing homes in Texas.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo agreed with Paxton’s argument that the rule promulgated in 2024 “attempting to remedy chronic nursing home deficiencies” was not consistent with congressional legislation governing nursing homes.
