Hospitals in underserved communities face huge cuts in reckless 'Build Back Better' plan

n President Biden’s America, “Build Back Better” means cutting spending for hospitals that provide care to underserved communities to fund tax cuts for the super wealthy. It’s quite an example of just how far the Democrats’ socialist agenda has taken them from reality.

Buried deep within Biden’s reckless tax-and-spending-spree package are devastating and vindictive payment cuts to state Uncompensated Care Pool (UCP) programs and a 12.5 percent reduction from Disproportionate Share Hospital Payments (DSH).

What does that mean? As we continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic, Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi want to slash federal funds to hospitals who care for low-income patients, along with those who are underserved and uninsured. These patients, who are currently eligible for charitable and low-income assistance, may begin seeing medical bills and incurring medical debt.

It’s worth noting these cuts are not happening in every state. Rather, Biden and Pelosi have targeted states that have opted to not expand Medicaid — Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin and Wyoming...................

What they need to call these places is NOT..UNDERSERVED....but PLACES, RIOTS HAVE DESTROYED.  No one wants to build, where people keep burning down their services.   RECKLESS COMMUNITY'S.....their own making.  I can't feel sorry.
 But, I did know, after USING them, they would be eliminated.

????? You missed the point in bold:
