In states that choose to end expanded Medicaid eligibility, fewer covered beneficiaries mean hospitals will see less revenue and lower operating margins.

Hospitals, physicians, health insurers, long-term care providers and others warn of serious consequences for the healthcare system.

The news of Congress passing President Donald Trump’s Tax bill early Thursday morning didn’t sit well with Governor Bob Ferguson.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed onto a joint letter with other Republican governors in support of a "big beautiful bill" backed by President Donald Trump that is currently advancing through Congress and would cut $625 billion from Medicaid over the next decade if passed.

Hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians could stand to lose their health care if the Medicaid cuts pushed through the House are approved in the Senate. SEATTLE — Gov. Bob Ferguson called the sweeping cuts to Medicaid that passed through the House a "four-alarm fire" at a press conference Thursday morning.

As proposed cuts to Medicaid move forward through a federal budget reconciliation bill, the Oklahoma Health Care Authority outlined potential impacts to the state during its Wednesday board meeting, including work requirements and a moratorium on new or increased provider taxes.

"Hospitals will close, nursing homes will close. That will impact ... not just people who are on Medicaid, but Washingtonians all across our state."
