Hospitals Across Nation Brace for Medicaid Cuts Under ‘Big, Beautiful’ Law
INDIANA, JUL 11 – Indiana rural hospitals face $17 billion to $28 billion in Medicaid cuts over 10 years, risking closures and reduced healthcare access in multiple small towns, officials and analysts warn.
- On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed legislation cutting Medicaid and SNAP funding, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill, after Congress passed it on July 3.

- These policy changes could increase uncompensated care costs for providers and disrupt health coverage and prescription access for vulnerable populations nationwide.
