Saving safety net hospitals vital for primary care
The Massachusetts Senate has passed a bill aimed at increasing support for primary care by reallocating healthcare funding, targeting a rise in primary care spending from 6.7 percent to 15 percent by 2030 without raising overall costs. The legislation promotes shifts in reimbursement models and unlocks federal Medicaid funds to support medical residencies and community health centers. However, safety net providers may face financial challenges amid looming federal Medicaid cuts, risking increased strain on hospitals serving low-income and marginalized populations. The bill now awaits consideration in the House, where efforts to protect safety net systems are critical.
