Many opponents to President Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' have spoken out on its impact on rural healthcare.

While he admits it could impact rural healthcare facilities, CEO of Warner Hospital in Clinton, Paul Skowron, told Regional Radio on the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, it will have a minimal impact on the city-owned facility because of its lack of reliance on Medicaid dollars.

Skowron calls Warner Hospital 'rural lite' because of its minimal reliance on Medicare. Thanks to major employers that are set up in communities around Clinton, they offer good insurance that Warner Hospital is able to access.

While the impact is minimal, Skowron notes they are going to do an evaluation of expenditures. He calls it a good exercise and remains unconcerned by the impacts of the Big Beautiful Bill.

The 'Big Beautiful Bill' will have an impact on reimbursements to Illinois, and Skowron is watching in Springfield for how lawmakers will react to those reductions in reimbursements.

Skowron will also be watching the fall session in Washington, D.C,. where there are rumblings of cuts coming to Medicare.
