Senate leadership is negotiating with key megabill holdouts — “the Medicaid moderates”— over how to address their concerns that scaling back the provider tax would negatively impact rural hospitals.

The Senate leadership should grow a pair. Screw what trump wants. This "Big Beautiful Bill" thing is one of those phrases that came up off the top of his head (like Space Force). It's out of a desire for tax cuts. Plus, they are setting this thing up to cause problems in time for a 2028 election.

I’m clearly missing something in your comment. We’re clearly on the same side of this but why is “hospitals” in quotes? We have them. They already struggle to stay staffed and have to travel hour away for many specialties (ambulance from here to there). This will make that worse.

Thanks for asking as I didn’t mean to demean hospitals. Media like Politico sanitize the fact that human citizens are the ones losing benefits. I am a rural healthcare provider myself and will be financially hurt by the cuts. But only as an after-effect of rural residents getting hurt.

They need to see that those on private insurance will be hurt too when they cannot get care because there just isn’t a provider. Providers close practices because they can no longer afford to practice where Medicaid is the main insurer. They need to see it hit people like them to care. 2/2

So in order to avoid paying for poor people's medical bills, they want to directly fund rural hospitals without that pesky "helping the poor" feeling

I have an idea. Lets take a moderately good economy and fuck it up with threats of tariffs, wars, bad bills, deportation, and anything else we can dream up to make it worse. What Jay Powell is really thinking "Cut me some fucking slack jack".

So they give funds to keep a hospital open but the people there won’t be able to afford to use it. Make sure the hospital administrators don’t go broke, but let the poor suffer. There are no words.

I can’t believe this. One thing that would prop up hospitals are patients with actual health insurance to pay for care. Portable, comprehensive, affordable healthcare. Like the plans through the ACA and Medicaid. The GOP never thought of a plan to replace the ACA, so millions will just suffer.

It’s not just rural hospitals. Do your homework, journalists. Investigate. Back during the Clinton/early Obama recession, at least 2 hospitals closed in San Diego. They went bankrupt. If Congress pulls out funding without a couple years notice (time to change their biz model) it will happen again.
