When you break things down, the one group with higher lengths of stay are patients enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans - in particular, those going to a nursing home for rehab.
The likelihood that these patients stay in the hospital for ≥14 days increased by ~30% from 2018 to 2023.

The bill's staggering Medicaid cuts put 55 independent rural hospitals at serious risk of closure, per an analysis by Families USA.
Those cuts also put 579 nursing homes at a high risk of closure, per an analysis from Brown University’s School of Public Health.
