"Trump's cuts to Medicaid will hurt millions of low-income and disabled Americans, and will deepen financial strains that are already plaguing rural and safety-net hospitals - compromising their ability to deliver care, potentially leading many to close."
"The advocacy group Public Citizen released a report identifying 446 hospitals that could be forced to reduce services or close because of the Trump-GOP Medicaid cuts, which will amount to around $1 trillion over the next decade."
The GOP is considering further Medicaid cuts to fund military actions, risking the closure of hundreds of hospitals. A report by Public Citizen identifies 446 hospitals at risk due to $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts approved last summer. These hospitals served 7 million patients in 2024. Many at-risk hospitals are in Republican districts, highlighting the political implications of the cuts. Public Citizen emphasizes the urgent need for Congress to restore Medicaid funding to prevent further harm to vulnerable populations and healthcare facilities.
