The Hospital Association in Ohio quickly praised Republican American senators for delivering President Donald Trump in One Big Bill Act. But he will not say if in general, the regulations will save whether it costs money from member hospitals.
Meanwhile, external experts say that rural and city hospitals will lose billions.
CBO claims that Trump’s tax law results from a USD 3.4T deficit, throws 10 million from health insurance
The law signed on July 4 gives estimates 1 trillion dollars of tax reductions for the richest 1% Americans Over 10 years and adds $ 3.4 trillion to the deficit.
These deficits would be even higher if the recent law did not eliminate more than 1 trillion dollars from Medicaid.
Between this and the cuts for persons using the insurance exchange of the Act on inexpensive care, the impartial Congress Budget Office estimates that by 2034 10 million Americans will be uninsured due to the law adopted by Congress Republicans and signed by Trump.
In Ohio, 440,000 are for the loss of insurance.
The OHIO Hospital Association in May told the legislators that half of Ohio hospitals and 72% of rural hospitals reported operational losses from 2022
Emergency departments in all American hospitals must treat people regardless of their ability to pay. Ohio rescuers warn that the need to treat a immense recent wave of uninsured patients will be Increase the waiting time and force hospitals to Cut the staff.
But Ohio hospitals and their industry group refused to fight the regulations or Defend the representatives of the state in Washington, who supported him.
Instead, four rural hospital chains praised the USA Republican sense. Jon Husted and Berni Moreno for their vote.
“Your leadership and spokeswoman have clearly influenced the control of necessary funds to objects that are the spine of healthcare in our part of the state,” said the most essential directors from Memorial Health, Genesis Healthcare, Aden Health and Southern Ohio Medical Center. “Thanks to your efforts, our hospitals will still be able to provide high-quality care near the house, conduct the necessary services and maintain thousands of local jobs-summer.”
Nobody knows if Trump is $ 50 billion on health in rural areas
They praised Moreno and supported because they supported a measure that provides $ 50 billion mainly for rural hospitals in the next five years. The federal government still has to determine how a immense part of this money will be spent. And experts in health policy at KFF say that a significant part of this money can end in urban and suburban facilities.
But Ohio senators and hospital chains praising them said that the recipe would give $ 1.3 billion in Ohio in five years.
The Ohio Hospital Association joined praise.
“The OHIO Hospital Association is extremely grateful for the recipes at One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which establishes new financial resources for rural hospitals and extends the Medicaid additional payment program in Ohio until 2028.” – said spokesman John Palmer We -mail. “We are grateful for the opportunity to discuss these critical problems with our Congress delegation and we are waiting for further cooperation in the field of future healthcare policy.”
Even if rural hospitals in Ohio receive a full $ 1.3 billion, which senators say at least two outstanding groups say that Ohio hospitals will continue to lose billions by virtue of one great law on a handsome account.
IN information sheetThe American Hospital Association said that in 10 years Ohio rural hospitals would lose $ 2.5 billion in Medicaid financing. This is almost twice as much as the amount that has been tasty, and Moreno said that they are able to add, and most of these cuts will not hit only after the supplement and support of Moreno dried.
According to the American Hospital Association, potentially adding to hospital misfortunes supported by Senators Ohio will cost 18,000 rural their health insurance.

Because Ohio has a relatively immense rural population with a immense advantage of Medicaid patients, it will particularly affect Trump Medicaid cuts, KFF said in the analysis of July 2. He said Ohio would lose $ 6.45 billion on rural expenses Medicaid Over 10 years – sixth majority of each country.
This amount exceeds $ 1.3 billion HUSTED, and Moreno claims that they won for rural hospitals. But Matthew Perry, the president and general director of Genesis Healthcare System in Zaneville, said that one Act on One Big Beautiful Bill allows Ohio to operate more federal dollars through tax on the supplier.
“… It also included a five -year USD 50 billion fund to directly support rural hospitals, from which Ohio rural hospitals will receive our honest participation,” said We -Mail. “It is true that (one great handsome bill) includes a reduction in the total amount of taxes from the supplier, which you can operate to receive federal matched medicaid funds from 2028, but it falls gradually with time, and the bottom even slightly higher than when Ohio hospitals are today. There is no more than ten years today, Senators Moreno and Hustal. Rural hospitals from Ohio.
Leaders Memorial Health, Adena Health and Southern Ohio Medical Center – other systems that Husted and Moreno praised – did not answer questions about this story.
Last week, KFF released analysis Of the $ 50 billion in a rural health supplement, which made it tough to see how rural hospitals in Ohio could appear in one Big Beautiful Bill Act. First, he takes twice as much as he adds, he said.
“Wsi-Health Fund covers $ 50 billion, or about a third of the estimated loss of Federal Federal financing in rural areas,” he said.
The analysis added that there is a great uncertainty about how money will be spent. Half will be widespread as part of the approach, which will still be established by the American Medicare and Medicaid Services centers.
And most importantly, a supplement worth $ 50 billion for rural hospitals is short-lived, and cuts in Medicaid are enduring, as the analysis said.
And this does not even take into account the estimates from the impartial Congress Budget Bureau that Trump’s law will enhance the number of uninsured Americans by 10 million to 2034. These people will not stop getting infirmed and hurt, and when they are infirmed enough, many will go to the ambulance that they have to look after them, even if they can’t pay.
KFF analysis said that many of these costs will be in addition to losing MEDICID funds.
“This does not include other losses of revenues related to the Act, including cuts with federal expenses on markets (Act on inexpensive care) or income loss resulting from an increased number of people who will be uninsured Due to the expiry of the improved ACa tax reductions and implementing the rules of the final market integrity, “he said.” The impact of these changes to rural areas and the degree to which the village health fund of the loss will differ throughout the country. “
Just like the rural healthcare systems and the Ohio Hospital Association made them aware of the Moreno when the senators took away billions from them? For its part, the Hospital Association would not say if they questioned KFF and American Hospital Association. He would not even say whether its members will gain or lose as part of one immense handsome bill.
“The OHIO Hospital Association is extremely grateful for the recipes at One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which establishes new financial resources for rural hospitals and extends the Medicaid additional payment program in Ohio until 2028.” Palmer spokesman said. “We are grateful for the opportunity to discuss these critical problems with our Congress delegation and we are waiting for further cooperation in the field of future healthcare policy.”
