Article Abstract:

Kolb and Krueger discuss the effects of state and federal policy on capital-cost reimbursement to nursing homes.

The Medicaid program in Georgia is studied as an example. Other examples are Washington state and New York. These policies may discourage investors and thereby, new capital.
