3 Michigan hospitals ‘at risk’ of closing due to Trump Medicaid cuts

UNC researchers identified three Michigan hospitals among 300+ nationwide that may not survive Medicaid cuts recently signed by President Donald Trump.Since House Republicans have been in charge of the budget process, they have failed students, schools and teachers.
