CHA Opposes New Senate Finance Reconciliation Proposal
The bill includes provisions that would hurt health care for all children.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the Senate considers reconciliation, CHA President and CEO Matthew Cook released the following statement:
“The bill text released by Senate Finance last night is worse than what the House proposed and will be detrimental for children’s health and hospitals across the nation. The Medicaid program continues to be vital to nearly half of children in the U.S. — without it, all children will struggle to get the care they need from hospitals that will be unequipped to treat them. We urge senators to champion American children, hospital workers, and families and oppose the Medicaid provisions in this proposal.”
