Senate Republicans battle over rural hospital relief fund to offset Medicaid cuts

  • Senate Republicans are debating a bill in June 2025 that includes Medicaid cuts and a proposed dedicated fund for rural hospitals to offset losses.
  • The bill follows concerns that Medicaid cuts would force 30% of safety net hospitals to close, especially in rural areas dependent on Medicaid expansion under the ACA.
  • Senators like Susan Collins back a $100 billion fund for rural hospitals, while others prefer a smaller $15 billion allocation, causing splits among GOP lawmakers.
  • Senator John Kennedy expressed that although many claim they cannot support the bill, he believes several of those individuals are actually inclined to back it, highlighting uncertainty about the final level of support.
  • The dispute indicates the bill may stall without consensus, and the dedicated fund might not fully address rural hospital closures or Medicaid coverage reductions for hundreds of thousands.
