Statement on the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018

Today’s continuing resolution includes many important provisions that benefit the patients and communities America’s hospitals and health systems are privileged to serve each day. Importantly, this bill delays for two years cuts to Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital payments, which are critical to hospitals and health systems that care for our nation’s most vulnerable populations—children, the poor, the disabled and the elderly.
