From the cover letter:
We anticipate a substantial increase in expenses and an annual loss of $65 million in funding once the act is fully implemented. Cuts of this magnitude would require Grady to eliminate at least 10% of its hospital operating budget and force us to reduce critical services for Georgians.
These include:
— A significant reduction in the scope of mental health services;
— Closure of primary and specialty care service lines, programs and clinics;
— Elimination of services provided to prisoners, including federal prisoners;
— Reduction in pharmacy benefits; and
— An increase in patient copays and visit fees, among other measures that would be necessary.
