Sen. Susan Collins,
R-Maine, told reporters Thursday
that she's "concerned" that the Medicaid could face cuts under the Senate
budget resolution currently being considered by legislators.
Collins
cited language in the bill that instructs the House Committee on Energy and
Commerce to "reduce the deficit by not less than $880 billion"
between 2025 and 2034.
"I'm
concerned about the instruction to the House Committee for $880 billion, it's
the Energy and Commerce Committee in the House, which has jurisdiction over
Medicaid, because I don't see how you can get to that amount without cutting
Medicaid benefits," Collins said.
"In
my state, there are more than 400,000 Mainers that rely on that health care
program. Our rural hospitals depend upon it as well, and they are really
struggling because of actions and inactions by the state Legislature. So the
last thing I want to do is cut Medicaid for vulnerable people who are disabled
or seniors who cannot work."
Collins' comments
came on the same day that America's Essential Hospitals, a group that
represents hospitals
and medical centers, sent a letter to
congressional leaders warning that "the proposed changes to Medicaid are
significant and threaten the ability of essential hospitals and other safety
net providers to stay open, especially in underserved areas in all corners of
the nation."
