Nebraska hospitals are facing challenges as they strive to provide quality care to all patients across the state, especially in rural communities. The president of the Nebraska Hospital Association, Jeremy Nordquist, emphasized the importance of Medicaid in supporting health care services in rural areas, where nearly half of Nebraskans enrolled in the program reside.
With looming federal cuts to health care services, including Medicaid, rural hospitals are at risk of further financial strain. Many hospitals are already operating on thin margins, with over 20% having to reduce or eliminate vital services in recent years. Nordquist urged lawmakers to protect programs like Medicaid to ensure continued access to essential health care services for rural Nebraskans.
To prevent the dismantling of the hospital safety net and the destruction of health care access in rural communities, Nebraskans are encouraged to speak up and oppose these proposed cuts.
