Hospitals brace for financial hits or even closure under Republicans' Medicaid cut
80% Informative
States and rural health advocacy groups are sounding the alarm that Congress ’ slashing of Medicaid will devastate already financially fragile rural hospitals.
Rural hospitals have long operated on the financial edge as Medicaid payments have fallen below the actual cost to provide health care.
More than 300 hospitals could be at risk for closure under the Republican bill, an analysis says.
A KFF report shows 36 states losing $1 billion or more over 10 years in Medicaid funding for rural areas under the Republican bill.
No state stands to lose more than Kentucky .
The Bluegrass State would lose a whopping $12.3 billion — nearly $5 billion more than the next state on the list.
