What are the immediate consequences of the judge's decision to block the Biden administration's nursing home staffing rule?

A Texas federal judge blocked a Biden administration rule mandating increased nursing home staff, citing inconsistency with existing laws. The rule, requiring more nurses and aides at an estimated annual cost of \$6.8 billion, faced immediate legal challenges from nursing home operators who argued it would cause closures and displace residents. The judge's decision halts the implementation of a mandate that would have impacted approximately 75% of nursing homes.
