Statement on House Passage of Continuing Resolution

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Statement attributable to:
Bruce Siegel, MD, MPH
President and CEO
America’s Essential Hospitals

WASHINGTON—We thank House leaders for responding to the heavy financial burden of COVID-19 on hospitals with bipartisan action to ease repayment terms for Medicare accelerated and advance payment loans and to further delay Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payment cuts.

Our hospitals continue to suffer high costs and revenue losses associated with COVID-19, and they welcome the relief this continuing resolution would provide. Further, the additional delay in DSH cuts will help hospitals and Congress as they work toward a sustainable solution to the threat these cuts pose to health care access for low-income patients.

While we appreciate the relief in the continuing resolution, we also call on Congress and the administration to provide more support for hospitals, especially as the nation faces a predicted increase in COVID-19 cases this fall and winter. We must ensure essential hospitals on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic have the resources they need to respond effectively to this public health emergency.
