医院警告说,为成年人削减医疗补助可能会伤害儿童获得护理的机会。 
Medicaid cuts for adults may hurt children’s access to care, hospitals warn.
医院官员警告说,针对身体健全的成年人的拟议医疗补助削减可能会间接伤害儿童,因为资金减少可能给儿科护理和家庭保健服务造成负担。 Proposed Medicaid cuts targeting able-bodied adults could indirectly harm children, hospital officials warn, as reduced funding may strain pediatric care and family health services. 虽然该政策侧重于没有受扶养人或残疾的成年人,但保健提供者认为,削减医疗援助计划总预算可能会限制儿童获得基本服务,包括预防性护理和医院治疗。 While the policy focuses on adults without dependents or disabilities, healthcare providers argue that cuts to overall Medicaid budgets could limit access to essential services for children, including preventive care and hospital treatments. 多个州的医院都报告对家庭和社区健康受到的连锁影响感到关切。 Hospitals across multiple states report concerns about the ripple effects on families and community health.
