Spend your retirement completely out of it!

A new study from the Wharton School’s Pension Research Council reveals a chilling reality: an estimated 24,000 additional residents in U.S. nursing homes may be sedated—not for symptoms, but for convenience—after the collapse of the Biden administration’s 2024 staffing mandate . That's right: without enough caregivers on the floor, sedation becomes the quick fix to manage unsteady residents and reduce staff workload.

This isn't just unchecked cost-cutting—it's a public health and human rights crisis. For-profit facilities are leading the charge, exploiting regulatory loopholes by diagnosing harmless conditions as severe mental disorders just to justify antipsychotic use. The result? Vulnerable seniors stripped of agency, spending rotation after rotation of sedatives just to keep them quiet.

Our video cuts through the noise to expose the real causes behind this healthcare malpractice: understaffing dictated by political decisions, budget-driven Medicaid cuts, and anti-immigrant policies depleting the labor pool. These aren't isolated incidents—they're systemic failures that affect everyone, because one day, many of us will rely on care we can’t administer ourselves.

Let’s stop treating sedation as inevitable and start demanding better: higher staffing ratios, transparent care standards, and strong regulations that protect dignity. This isn’t just about one broken system—it’s about preserving the humanity of our aging population.
