Delays cuts to hospital funding for low-income patient care for several years
This bill would delay planned cuts to funding for hospitals that serve many low-income patients. These hospitals would continue to receive current payment levels for an extra three to four years. This could help ensure Medicaid patients keep access to important services.
Today, current law sets specific reductions to Medicaid payments for hospitals that serve many low-income patients, starting between 2026 and 2028. If this bill becomes law, these reductions would be delayed. The cuts scheduled for 2026-2028 would instead begin in 2029-2031, and a specific 2027 reduction would be moved to 2031.
