“If our legislators fail to act now, they will be putting patients at risk of losing access to medical services in their community. Please, do the right thing, before we face a catastrophe.” ~ HPAE Local 5089 President Banita Herndon "No New Jersey Hospital will suffer more than University Hospital. The vast majority of UH patients rely on government funding for their healthcare, making up 80% of the hospital's net patient revenue, with over a third coming from Medicaid. With charity care now dependent on outpatient Medicaid revenue, the impact could be devastating for University Hospital: we could lose upwards of $100 million dollars in Medicaid funding." ~ HPAE President Debbie White, RN (fb)
