Medicaid Cuts Could Impact 37 Georgia Nursing Homes, Study Says
UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – A study shows nearly 600 nursing homes nationwide face closure due to Medicaid cuts totaling $1 trillion over 10 years, risking thousands of jobs and essential care services.
- This month, the Congressional Budget Office reported the budget bill will slash Medicaid by $1 trillion over the next decade, and a study requested by Senate Democrats identified 579 nursing homes at risk of closing.
- Following budget debates, lawmakers enacted the `One Big Beautiful Bill Act`, backing what its supporters call the largest Medicaid cuts in history and enacting massive tax cuts expected to increase the national debt by $3 trillion over the next decade.
- A Brown University School of Public Health study found 37 Georgia nursing homes at risk, including five in metro Atlanta; Sen. Jon Ossoff said 70% of residents rely on Medicaid and warned closures could displace thousands of seniors.
- In Georgia, Sen. Jon Ossoff says the impact is already beginning, predicting more fallout in the coming months and warning impacts could start within 18 to 24 months.
- Facing mounting closures, Congress and some Republicans plan to revisit the budget bill later this year, and Sen. Jon Ossoff expects a healthcare package then to reverse some Medicaid cuts.
