newmexter @newmexter.bsky.social · 28/09/2026BBB speed runs destroying the stability of the US healthcare system. So then what? Health insurers and systems will need to increase revenue or reduce expenses significantly - which historically has been grrrreeeeaaat for patients and providers. And many people will simply fall through the cracks. 100
newmexter @newmexter.bsky.social · 28/09/2026So the super-fussy consolation prize funding is not available for where most of the $$ impact will be felt (though perhaps the first systems to shatter...).

newmexter @newmexter.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Further, the approach pretends urban healthcare systems will be fine. The cuts aren't specific to rural areas. The funding focuses on rural areas IMO due to voter patterns, terrible healthcare access already, and those points of care being fragile already. Not say, $$ impacts.static.klipy.comHhhALT: Hhh 100
newmexter @newmexter.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Does it fix a revenue equation that was challenging before BBB kneecapped Medicare and Medicaid? No. In a state like NM with high Medicare and Medicaid populations, the follow-on effects of funding *premanent* tax cuts to the wealthy via entitlement cuts will be deep, broad,and compounding. 100
newmexter @newmexter.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Let's say your hospital or rural clinic does really well in the RFPs. Pull the arm, invest lots of time applying and 🍒🍒🍒.

newmexter @newmexter.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The purposes and appraoches chosen by NM (rapidly like other states had to do) are not bad ones. They speak to ongoing challenges and some strategies to help weather the cuts but they do not pay for things like actual clinical care - the heart of the BBB-triggered crisis. 100
newmexter @newmexter.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This means that while all NM hospital systems, insurers, most providers, and many patients are harmed by the BBB cuts only select parties benefit from some new funding and it is highly restricted. I say this as someone who is deeply familiar with the RFP rounds and what it takes to apply. 100
newmexter @newmexter.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I can't emphasize enough the distinction of these being a vehicle of allowable and approved funding needing alignement both with federal and state plans, with lots of detail and process and sub-grant/contract at least a couple layers deep...

newmexter @newmexter.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Important context for the Rural Health Transformation grants in NM. Yes, the state is running initiatives to regrant a lot of funding this year *and* it’s a fraction of cuts that will affect the state from the BBB.
