There are other articles out there that go into how this will impact patients directly in certain situations. If I get the gist correctly, it is that some areas are already underserved and this will limit the ability to onboard new providers ... meaning new patients who might have been able to access these services, won't be able to.

It's just not the same level as "no one, anywhere" will be able to sign up for hospice under Medicare during the moratorium.
