With the passage of Donald Trump and the GOP’s spending bill, hospitals, care facilities, and nursing homes around the country are already reeling from the consequences, announcing service cuts, layoffs, and closures. Republicans just made the largest cuts to health care in American history, slashing over $1 trillion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act and ripping coverage from more than 15 million Americans in order to fund tax breaks for the wealthy and big corporations. People across the country, including seniors, people with disabilities, expectant mothers, and cancer patients, will face higher health care costs, have to travel further to get care, and endure longer wait times in overwhelmed emergency rooms. As hospitals and nursing homes close, people will lose jobs, local and state economies will suffer, and entire communities will be left without access to care, all so Trump and the Republicans could give more tax breaks to the rich.
Protect Our Care’s Hospital Crisis Watch is tracking the harm Donald Trump and Republicans’ spending bill is inflicting on American health care in real time – community by community, hospital by hospital. Hospitals are struggling, care is vanishing, and the American people deserve to know who’s responsible.
