6 rural Colorado hospitals in danger if Trump tax bill passes, report says

The potential impact of the proposed Medicaid cuts in the Republican tax bill on rural Colorado hospitals is a cause for concern, according to a report commissioned by Senate Democrats. The report identifies six rural hospitals in Colorado that could face closure if the more than $600 million in Medicaid cuts are implemented. These hospitals are located across the state, including three on the Western Slope, one in the San Luis Valley, and two on the Eastern Plains.

The proposed bill, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, includes provisions such as adding work requirements to Medicaid, increasing the cost of health insurance on the individual marketplace, and penalizing states that cover undocumented immigrants. The bill could have significant repercussions for hospitals, community mental health centers, and safety net clinics in Colorado. The potential cuts in Medicaid funding could result in reduced services or even closures for some providers.

A report by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill estimates that 338 rural hospitals nationwide, including six in Colorado, could be at risk of closure if the Medicaid cuts go through. Some of the Colorado hospitals on the list include Delta Health Hospital in Delta, San Luis Valley Health Conejos County Hospital in La Jara, and Grand River Health in Rifle.

The impact of the Medicaid cuts would be felt across the state, with projections indicating that as many as 150,000 Coloradans could lose Medicaid coverage, and an additional 110,000 could drop out of the individual health insurance market. The potential loss of coverage could have a significant financial impact on hospitals and healthcare providers, leading to increased uncompensated care and reduced revenue.

Hospitals like Delta Health are already feeling the effects of the proposed cuts, with spokesperson Darnell Place-Wise highlighting the challenges they would face if Medicaid reimbursements are reduced. While the hospital may not close its doors, it would have to make difficult decisions about which services to prioritize in the face of budget constraints.

The Colorado Hospital Association and the Colorado Community Health Network are also expressing concerns about the potential impact of the Medicaid cuts on healthcare providers in the state. Rural hospitals, safety net clinics, and behavioral health providers are all bracing for the financial strain that could result from the proposed changes.

Overall, the proposed Medicaid cuts in the Republican tax bill could have far-reaching consequences for healthcare in Colorado, with rural hospitals and safety net providers facing the possibility of closures, reduced services, and financial instability. As the bill moves through Congress, stakeholders in the healthcare industry are closely monitoring the potential impact and advocating for policies that protect access to care for all Coloradans.
