Long Island health care providers say they are bracing for the financial impact of anticipated cuts to Medicaid as the Republican majority in Congress works on sweeping legislation to make 2017 tax cuts permanent.

The article from Newsday discusses the potential cuts to Medicaid funding in New York, which could significantly impact healthcare services for low-income families, the elderly, and disabled individuals. Governor Kathy Hochul's budget proposal includes a $1.2 billion reduction in Medicaid spending, aiming to address the state's financial challenges. Critics argue that these cuts could lead to reduced access to care, lower reimbursements for healthcare providers, and possibly the closure of some healthcare facilities. Advocates for the disabled and elderly, along with healthcare providers, have expressed concerns over the potential deterioration of care quality and the financial strain on both patients and providers. The debate centers around balancing fiscal responsibility with the need to maintain essential health services, with some legislators and community groups pushing back against the proposed reductions.
