9 Colorado hospitals at risk of closing due to Medicaid cuts - Denver Gazette

AI Summary

Nine hospitals in Colorado might have to close or cut services. This is because of big cuts to Medicaid, a program that helps people with low incomes get health care. The cuts could mean that many people who rely on Medicaid might lose their insurance. This would hurt the hospitals that serve these people the most. Some hospitals, like Denver Health, say they are not closing but will have to "tighten their belts." Other hospitals in places like Leadville and Lamar are also worried. These cuts could affect about one in four Coloradans who use Medicaid.
