A bipartisan coalition of 51 senators has issued a letter to Senate leaders Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell to address and avert an $8 billion cut to the Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) program, slated to begin on October 1 and continue for the next four years.
The reduction in DSH is one result of a series of legislative proposals enacted in May, which had advanced through the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health unanimously, 27-0.
