Report: Wisconsin Hospitals Will Lose $264 Million Annually Under Republicans’ Budget Bill
Baldwin voted against bill that will kick over 270,000 Wisconsinites off their healthcare
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A new report was released projecting that hospitals in Wisconsin will lose $264.6 million a year because of the Republicans’ budget bill. Senator Baldwin voted against the bill, which will terminate health care for over 270,000 Wisconsinites, increase costs for working families, and jeopardize the ability of hospitals and clinics to remain open.
The Republicans’ bill, which every Congressional Republican from Wisconsin supported, is projected to terminate health care for 17 million Americans, including 270,000 Wisconsinites. Across the country, one-fifth of total spending on hospital care comes from Medicaid. Over 300 rural hospitals are at disproportionate risk of closure, conversion, or service reductions due to health care cuts in the bill, including 3 in Wisconsin.
