Bill overview
This bill, the Delivering Support for Hospitals Act, aims to ensure that all states receive a minimum amount of funding through Medicaid’s Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) program. Currently, DSH allotments vary by state, and this legislation establishes a floor for these allotments, guaranteeing a minimum level of support for hospitals that serve a high proportion of uninsured and low-income patients. The bill sets specific minimum amounts for the DSH allotment over several years, with adjustments for inflation.
