UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – Senator Hawley seeks to overturn Medicaid cuts he supported, aiming to double rural hospital funding and restore state provider tax authority critical for vulnerable populations.

  • Last Tuesday, Republicans delayed Medicaid work requirements until 2027 and funding changes until 2028 to avoid backlash in the 2026 midterm elections.
  • According to Politico, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act delays its most controversial Medicaid cuts while conservatives plan another reconciliation bill later this year with bigger reductions.
  • Sen. Josh Hawley warned Tuesday that at least 300 rural hospitals face closure risk, illustrating rural areas' vulnerability to Medicaid funding reductions.
  • Hawley introduced the Protect Medicaid and Rural Hospitals Act, targeting provider tax moratorium, Axios reported.
  • Ahead of 2026, Democrats struggle to convince voters about future cuts since they haven’t happened yet, California-based strategist Doug Herman said, illustrating their broader campaign challenge.
