NY State Lawmakers Approve $775 Million Healthcare Cut

On Monday, state lawmakers approved $775 million in cuts and other savings from New York’s health care budget. The Senate vote included all 32 Democrats for it and all Republicans against it. Hospitals, nursing homes, and other health programs will be effected from these reductions. For example, the cuts would cost the Greater New York Hospital Association an additional $250 million or so in federal money, the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center would loose about $8.8 million, and Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in Queens would lose $4.5 million. Some major teaching hospitals are even more drastically affected, as they can loose even more money due to cuts in graduate medical education. For example, Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx would lose about $13.9 million.

The cuts ended up being less than the originally expected $1 billion in health care spending. Some cuts ended up being reduced, and others were eliminated entirely. The legislation cuts $72.2 million in health care for the poor and $37.4 million in subsidies for graduate medical education.
