Hospital groups angry over proposed Medicaid and Medicare cuts
Hospital groups are objecting strongly to billions of dollars in proposed Medicare and Medicaid payment cuts in President Donald Trump's budget. Two major hospital trade groups did not mince words in blog posts Monday by their leaders.
Chip Kahn, president of the Federation of American Hospitals, is calling proposed Medicare cuts "arbitrary and blunt," adding, "the impact on care for seniors would be devastating." American Hospital Association President Rick Pollack says the budget raises "serious concerns about how hospitals and health systems can ensure they serve as the safety net" for patients. The budget includes a range of hospital cuts over 10 years, including reduced reimbursements for uncompensated care and lower rates for outpatient departments.
