Rural hospitals face funding cuts
- Over 40 hospitals serving rural communities in Louisiana, including Iberia Medical Center in New Iberia, are at risk of shutting down due to proposed Medicaid reductions outlined in the 'Big Beautiful Bill'.
- The legislation was approved by a slim margin in the Senate amid discussions about $39 billion in proposed Medicaid reductions intended to eliminate waste and fraud, although some of these assertions are disputed.
- Hospitals depend heavily on Medicaid payments, and Montana leaders warn cuts will pressure providers still delivering uncompensated care and threaten community health services.
- Iberia Medical Center employs 850 staff, pays about $70 million in annual wages, and its CEO said they are preparing for possible funding changes while reassuring locals.
- If the bill advances, rural hospital closures could reduce access to care and economic stability, prompting calls to oppose the cuts for community well-being.
