It is new providers, not new patients, who are impacted by the freeze.

Yes, it will impact patients who wanted to enroll in a hospice provider who is NOT ALREADY enrolled as a Medicare provider. But those patients can also enroll with a different (already enrolled) provider.

Trump is evil - but it isn't helpful to spread exaggerated information about anything he has done.
