U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.) condemned House Republicans’ $880-billion budget cut to Medicaid alongside U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), U.S. Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-Ill.), healthcare providers and community members at Roseland Community Hospital.
Cuts to Medicaid would force the hospital to consider layoffs, service line cuts and even closure. Many of the hospital’s patients rely on Medicaid, similar to more than 300,000 people in Illinois’ 2nd District.
