Medicare, Medicaid & LTC: What Nursing Homes Need From Congress with Monty Montanez
In this episode of Our Purpose Podcast, Hosts James Dieter, Kip Kruger and Chris Light sit down with Monty Montanez — combat veteran, entrepreneur, and candidate for Texas’ 32nd Congressional District — to talk about what nursing homes and long-term care leaders need most from Washington.
We dig into the real-world pressure points administrators and clinical leaders face every day: Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement constraints, staffing shortages, rural access challenges, and the high cost of transportation and care coordination. Monty shares a business-minded perspective on how policy could better support providers, reduce waste, and create incentives for preventative care — while keeping the focus on patient outcomes.
If you work in skilled nursing, rehab, long-term care, or healthcare leadership, this conversation is packed with timely questions:
• What changes would actually help facilities deliver better care?
• How do we fund preventative care in a system built to react?
• What would policy reform mean for staffing, access, and sustainability?
