A northeast Georgia hospital is closing its labor and delivery unit after determining that its precarious finances could not weather further funding cuts in President Donald Trump's new tax and spending law. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed by congressional Republicans and signed on July Fourth slashes health care spending nationwide over the next 10 years by more than $1 trillion. In rural areas alone, federal Medicaid spending will be cut by about $137 billion, according to the health research organization KFF.
