Hospital Cuts Set for Sunday Will Hit New York’s Latinos Hardest
September 29, 2017
If the extension expires as scheduled on Sunday, hospitals in New York state will immediately start losing about $60 million a month in funding.
“There’s this chunk of money that was originally scheduled to phase out under the Affordable Care Act,” says Charles Brecher, senior advisor for health policy at the Citizens Budget Commission. The idea was that as more people got insured under Obamacare, hospitals wouldn’t need as much in additional compensatory payments.
