Media Attends Press Conference Highlighting Impacts of Medicaid Cuts

Adam Carlson, senior vice president of Advocacy, MHA, joined JJ Hodshire, president and chief executive officer, Hillsdale Hospital, for a press conference April 17 to discuss how proposed cuts to Medicaid will further destabilize hospitals already experiencing financial strain.

Carlson urged Congress to reconsider or delay cuts outlined in H.R.1.

“Congress can still take action as these cuts continue to ramp up to stop them, to delay them, to look at other measures where they can support health care and really support rural health care across our state,” Carlson told WLNS-TV.

WILX-TV also covered the round table discussion.
