The Federation of American Hospitals’ President and CEO, Chip Kahn, released the following statement on President Trump’s FY 2026 Budget Proposal:

“With the release of the President’s budget and proposed changes to our country’s health infrastructure, it’s critical that Congress tread carefully as it considers drastic Medicaid cuts that would eliminate millions of Americans’ coverage and access to care. The budget, Congress’s proposed Medicaid cuts, and the impending expiration of the enhanced tax credits should be considered as a whole with the health of our communities, patients’ coverage, and hardworking Americans’ access to care at the forefront.”
