WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Federation of American Hospitals’ (FAH) President and CEO, Chip Kahn, released the following statement after the Senate passed their version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill”: 

“Under the guise of cutting ‘waste, fraud, and abuse,’ the Senate sends a bill to the House that slashes the care and coverage for millions of Americans. The reverberations of this measure will go far beyond the cutting and its injuries to care will be felt across the country in urban and rural communities alike. The measure simply crosses what House members have made clear is unacceptable.

“The spotlight is now on the House – they can assert their will and better this bad bill, or they can cave to the Senate and threaten hardworking Americans’ health coverage and access in the process. Now is the time for House members to stand up for their constituents, abandon harmful cuts to care and local hospitals, and strengthen the original House bill.”
