Rural hospitals brace for financial
hits or even closure under Republicans'
$1 trillion Medicaid cut
July 7
Tyler Sherman, a nurse at a rural
Nebraska hospital, is used to the
area's aging farmers delaying care
until they end up in his emergency
room.
Now, with Congress planning around
$1 trillion in Medicaid cuts over
10 years, he fears those farmers
and the more than 3,000 residents
of Webster County could lose not
just the ER, but also the clinic
and nursing home tied to the
hospital.
�Our budget is pretty heavily
reliant on the Medicaid
reimbursement, so if we do see
a cut of that, it�ll be difficult
to keep the doors open,� said
Sherman, who works at Webster
County Community Hospital in the
small Nebraska town of Red Cloud
just north of the Kansas border.
If those facilities close, many
locals would see their five-minute
trip to Webster County hospital
turn into a nearly hour-long ride
to the nearest hospital offering t
he same services.
�That's a long way for an emergency,�
Sherman said. �Some won't make it.� >https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/07/06/rural-hospitals-brace-for-financi >al-hits-or-even-closure
Good to see those rual-rube Trump supporters getting hammered.
