Just like a spider web, no matter where you touch it, the whole thing is going to shake,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clark spoke as one of the guests at an Albuquerque roundtable hosted by the U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) with Medicaid users, practitioners and medical industry representatives from Albuquerque and surrounding areas about the potential impacts to Medicaid on New Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Per capita, New Mexicans rely on Medicaid, the joint federal and state program to help cover medical costs for some people with lower incomes, at the highest rate in the country. There are more than 830,000 New Mexicans enrolled, about 40% of the state, and just under half of those patients are children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medicaid reimburses school nurses for student care, said Cheri Brubaker, who oversees 135 nurses at Albuquerque Public Schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe would lose over 50% of our nurses if the district was unable to pick up the cost,\u201d Brubaker said. \u201cIf you\u2019ve got children that have asthma and only occasionally need support, it\u2019s still significant, because relying on people that are not trained to take care of these conditions, can create more emergencies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current version of the spending bill would strip Medicaid coverage from nearly 11 million people by 2030, according to an estimate by the Congressional Budget Office, although some could find alternative coverage. That would mean losses of coverage for at least 96,000 New Mexicans and nearly $11 billion in lost federal funds. The loss of insurance would strain emergency rooms and raise the costs for care overall, Heinrich said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat is the heart of why I have been so opposed to this bill,\u201d he said. \u201cYou couldn\u2019t design a budget reconciliation package that would be worse for the state of New Mexico than what we\u2019re going to vote on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medicaid cuts would worsen both primary and emergency systems and require \u201ctough decisions\u201d for hospital services moving forward, said Dr. Vesta Sandoval, chief medical officer at Lovelace Health Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is really a domino effect, statewide,\u201d Sandoval said. \u201cIt is going to affect every aspect of care, whether it\u2019s schools, whether it\u2019s clinics, or the hospitals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senate Republicans leadership promised a vote before July 4, even as members of the party worry cuts will shutter <a href=\"https:\/\/sourcenm.com\/2025\/06\/17\/repub\/gop-senators-warn-mega-bills-new-medicaid-cuts-will-hurt-rural-hospitals\/\">rural hospitals across the country.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heinrich said he was in talks with Republican counterparts in Western states to convince them of the potential consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow about we don\u2019t close them in the first place?\u201d Heinrich said Friday about hospitals. \u201cI think that\u2019s the best solution; it\u2019s always easier to improve on what you have than rebuild from scratch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medicaid makes up nearly 30% of many hospitals\u2019 income in New Mexico, according to a March memo from the New Mexico Health Care Authority. Without the federal portion, hospitals could cut further services or close completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clark told Source NM after the roundtable that he would not name which hospitals face the biggest threat of closing or the areas in which they operate, in order to prevent \u201cpanic,\u201d but said that all hospitals across NM face losses with Medicaid cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe reality is they\u2019re all at risk, since we have so much Medicaid here,\u201d he said. \u201cAre they at risk of closure, I don\u2019t think so. But they are at risk of restricting services that impact everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New Mexico state lawmakers will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nmlegis.gov\/Agendas\/LHHSageJun25.25.pdf\">hear presentations in the coming week<\/a> on further concerns over Medicaid cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This story was originally published at <a href=\"https:\/\/sourcenm.com\/\">Source New Mexico<\/a>, a NMPBS partner.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This story was originally published at Source New Mexico, a NMPBS partner.
