Analysts at Jefferies expects Kindred Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: KND), Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. (NYSE: SKH) and Sun Healthcare Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNH) to trade down sharply today after CMS issued final FY12 payment update on Friday that cuts Medicare SNF rates by 11.1% on October 1, 2011.

"We could see KND fall to the $12-$13 range, SKH to $6-$7, and SUNH to $2-$3. We expect to get more company-specific details when SKH and SUNH hold their Q2 earnings calls on Tuesday."
