Hundreds Gather to Celebrate the Life of Doug Skaff
- Democratic senators warned on 2025-06-17 that hundreds of rural hospitals face closure or service cuts if the House's One Big Beautiful Bill Act passes.
- The warnings follow analysis revealing the bill's Medicaid provisions would reduce coverage, impose burdensome work and eligibility checks, and slash retroactive coverage to 30 days.
- Rural hospitals heavily dependent on Medicaid payments face deeper financial strain, risking service losses including obstetrics and emergency care, amid already declining hospital numbers since 2017.
- Sens. Markey, Schumer, Wyden, and Merkley reported nearly 8 million people would lose Medicaid coverage, and chief economist Josh Bivens noted hospital closures would disproportionately affect rural counties.
- If enacted, the bill could destabilize state budgets and increase uninsured rates, endangering rural health access and jobs, prompting bipartisan calls to avoid worsening the rural health crisis.
