AHS CEO James Jackson spoke with the East Bay Times about the budget cuts facing Alameda Health System in a comprehensive article published yesterday. “The vast majority of who we see is on some form of government care, whether it’s Medi-Cal or Medicare,” Jackson said. “They’re not going to just disappear. What we believe will likely happen is that they will forego care, or they will wait until it’s so bad, it’s exacerbated, and they end up in the emergency room.”

As the county’s safety net hospital, AHS expects to be disproportionately impacted by Medicaid cuts as 70-80% of its funding comes from federal and state healthcare reimbursements.
