ICYMI: Dr. Rahul Koranne, president and CEO of the Minnesota Hospital Association, spoke with Cathy Wurzer on MPR News about how recent job losses and federal instability could impact health care access for all Minnesotans. From the interview:
About 1.3 million Minnesotans are on Medicaid. What happens if there are cuts?
Who is that Medicaid patient? It is children, it is seniors, it is moms and new babies. Many live in rural and urban communities. Coming from a hospital and health care perspective, let me make this very real: Minnesota hospitals are in an existential crisis right now because 40% of Minnesota hospitals are operating in the red. This is before even a dime or a cent of Medicaid is cut.
