President Donald Trump's spending bill could jeopardize rural hospitals in Georgia, with a study indicating potential losses of $540 million over the next decade. Critics, including the Georgia Hospital Association, warn that cuts to Medicaid and other health programs could lead to closures and limit access to essential services for low-income and rural populations. As concerns grow, Democratic leaders are highlighting the risks to healthcare access, emphasizing that the bill may exacerbate the financial strain on healthcare facilities already facing challenges.
