ICYMI: As Republicans in the U.S. House moved to extract huge cuts from Medicaid, Minnesota’s hospitals and community health centers have mobilized to turn back a threat to their financial health and the care of low-income Minnesotans.
MHA CEO and president Rahul Koranne told MinnPost that hospitals are already eliminating mental health, labor and delivery, adult day care and dialysis services and would have to continue to limit care to all patients if Medicaid funding is reduced and hospitals are required to treat more uninsured patients.
“The patients who will be affected will not be only the Medicaid patients, but all the patients, including those with good health insurance plans,” Koranne said.
