BALDWIN, Wis. (WEAU) - Substantial cuts to Medicaid are a reality after the passage of President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.” Patients and hospitals will feel the impacts of these cuts.

“As a rural facility, we are very concerned about the impact of the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ and what that will have for our hospital as a whole and our patients,” Eilidh Pederson, the CEO of Western Wisconsin Health, said.

17% of the patient population at Western Wisconsin Health is insured through Medicaid. In the labor and delivery department, that jumps to nearly 25%.

“These are the patients most in need,” Pederson said. “They’re our most vulnerable patients. They struggle with transportation, and they struggle with paying for medical bills. Yet these are the patients whom we are charged to protect and serve.”..............
