OBRA

Read a random definition: injurious falsehood

A quick definition of OBRA:

OBRA: A law made by the government that has many different rules in it. It helps to make sure that the government spends money the way it said it would. One of the most important parts of OBRA is that it made rules for nursing homes to take better care of the people who live there. This means that nursing homes have to follow certain rules to make sure that the people who live there are safe and happy.

A more thorough explanation:

OBRA stands for Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. It is a law passed by the United States Congress that contains different provisions to align reconciliation bills with instructions in a budget resolution. OBRA was passed in 1981, and subsequent versions were passed in 1982, 1983, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, and 1993.

One of the most well-known provisions of OBRA is the revision of the federal standards for nursing home care in the 1987 version. This Act established minimum standards of care and rights for people living in nursing home facilities. For example, one of the regulations that came from the 1987 OBRA mandated that nursing homes cannot request or require residents or potential residents to waive their rights.

Another example of a provision in OBRA is the creation of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in 1997. This program provides health insurance to children whose families cannot afford private insurance but do not qualify for Medicaid.

These examples illustrate how OBRA contains different provisions that address various issues, such as healthcare and budget reconciliation. The Act aims to improve the quality of life for Americans by setting standards and providing resources for different areas of concern.
