Maryland seeks to cut hospital beds to curb costs
Maryland faces a political clash over reducing hospital capacity. The Maryland Health Resources Planning Commission estimates 5,000 excess beds statewide could save about 231 million, with 46 thousand saved per bed. Baltimore hosts over half the beds, while rural counties show smaller totals. The Joint Committee on Health Care Cost Containment grapples with carrot and stick incentives, aiming to trim beds without harming services or triggering worker losses as negotiations continue.
