US Edition‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ Would Batter Rural Hospital Finances, Researchers Say - The Nevada Independent
- Researchers have indicated that President Donald Trump’s 'One Big Beautiful Bill' could threaten the survival of 338 rural hospitals nationwide due to proposed Medicaid reductions.
- The bill proposes nearly $700 billion in Medicaid reductions that would intensify financial pressures on rural hospitals already operating with thin margins.
- Hospitals located in states including Kentucky, Louisiana, California, and Oklahoma face significant risks, with numerous facilities reducing Medicaid-dependent services such as labor and delivery, mental health treatment, and emergency care.
- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that the legislation could increase the federal deficit by $2.4 trillion, leading Senate Democrats to urge a reconsideration of Medicaid reductions that would negatively impact millions of people and strain rural healthcare facilities.
- While rural hospital closures threaten communities, the Rural Emergency Hospital designation and pledges from groups like UNC Health aim to maintain limited care access despite financial challenges.
