Senate Votes to Cut $930 Billion From Medicaid
Sharona Hoffman, the Edgar A. Hahn Professor of Law and co-director of the Law-Medicine Center, said that the GOP’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” slashes $930 billion from Medicaid, endangering maternity care in rural hospitals nationwide. She also noted that the bill appears designed to undermine Medicaid expansion. “The goal, I think, is to get states to say ‘we’re going to roll back or undo our expansion’,” Hoffman said.
