Senate GOP revisits Medicaid protections for rural hospitals
Senate Republicans seek to shield rural hospitals from proposed cuts in a budget reconciliation push. The draft would cap provider taxes at 3.5 percent for states with Medicaid expansion, down from 6 percent, drawing opposition from the hospital lobby and support from some moderates who urge rational funding. Senator Hawley and others push to avoid defunding rural facilities while balancing fiscal restraint and expansion matches.
