An analysis by the Greater New York Hospital Association estimates that Trump's megabill will risk $14.4 billion in hospital-generated economic activity and over 63,000 healthcare or healthcare-related jobs. The cuts will exacerbate the stress on the already fragile healthcare system, leading to a reduction in critically needed services, downsizing of operations, or even hospital closures.

"Our budget is pretty heavily reliant on the Medicaid reimbursement, so if we do see a cut of that, it'll be difficult to keep the doors open," said Sherman.
