Rural Hospitals Face Closure as Congress Plans $1 Trillion Medicaid Cuts
-
币界网报道：Rural hospitals across the U.S. are at risk of closure as Congress considers $1 trillion in Medicaid funding cuts, which could disproportionately impact underserved communities. Over 600 rural hospitals are already operating at a loss, with many relying on federal programs to stay afloat. Proposed budget reductions may force facilities to reduce services or shut down entirely, exacerbating healthcare access gaps in rural areas. Lawmakers are debating alternative funding solutions while healthcare advocates warn that cuts could lead to higher long-term costs from delayed treatments. The potential Medicaid reductions come as rural hospitals face rising operational expenses and staffing shortages.
