Preparing for the Avalanche of Uninsured Patients

Survival Strategies Include Bold Initiatives

By: Paul R. DeMuro, PhD, JD, MBA and Richard M. Klass, MBA


The recently enacted federal Medicaid policy changes as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) will affect all state healthcare providers and not-for-profit community agencies, including South Florida healthcare stakeholders who serve a large uninsured population. These changes will adversely impact local municipalities, safety-net hospitals, and rural hospitals, which will face increased financial responsibility for providing care to uninsured patients.

The OBBBA sets limits on healthcare taxes imposed by nearly every state on providers or managed care plans. These taxes generate revenue for supplemental Medicaid payments, and mostly benefit hospitals, but may also support other provider types.
At stake in Florida is a portion of the $3.4 billion in provider taxes collected. Of this amount, Dade-County hospitals received $662 million; Broward hospitals, $360 million.1


Community hospitals and other providers may cut or stop care for uninsured patients due to limited finances or operational priorities.

With OBBA Medicaid reform taking effect after December 31, 2026, healthcare providers must prepare for increased uninsured patient volume. Financial stability will depend on good strategic planning, political partnerships, and mitigation efforts.

Overview of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act – Healthcare Focus

By Richard M. Klass

The healthcare-related provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) affect various segments of the healthcare industry. Rule implementation timelines differ, with certain Medicaid policy changes postponed until the fourth quarter of 2026. This delay allows organizations to make necessary adjustments in response to revised federal funding levels, updated public assistance program eligibility requirements, and modifications to tax regulations.

Summary of Important Policy Shifts

Immediate Policy Changes

Select not-for-profit entities: For one year, the OBBBA prohibits Medicaid reimbursement to entities primarily engaged in family planning, reproductive health, and related medical care that also provide abortion services (except in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother’s life).

Effectively, this rule change ends Medicaid funding for even non-abortion healthcare services for entities such as Planned Parenthood and other similar organizations.


Long-term care entities: Long-term care facilities get one OBBBA related win; a ten-year reprieve on the federal staffing mandate specifying nursing homes to maintain a minimum number of certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and 24/7 registered nurse (RN) coverage. Michelle Marsh, CEO of Forma Advisors opines “this provision will still not reduce staffing shortages in nursing homes. Recruiting challenges will persist for several more years.

UPDATED NEWS INFORMATION FROM THE LAST THREE DAYS IN SOUTH FLORIDA 

 

Tampa General Hospital is First Health System in Tampa Area to Offer Minimally Invasive Procedure for Tremor

Utilizing specialized radiosurgery technology, this procedure may improve outcomes for tremor patients compared with other available therapeutic interventions.

Aug. 19, 2025 – The Neuroscience Institute at Tampa General Hospital (TGH) now offers stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) thalamotomy, a new and minimally invasive treatment for tremor, or uncontrollable shaking, in select patients with essential tremor (ET) and tremor dominant Parkinson’s disease (TD-PD). The integration of this revolutionary treatment option now allows for a full suite of services available for patients with movement disorders. TGH is the first health system in the West Central Florida region to offer SRS thalamotomy and one of the few in the nation utilizing a recently developed “frameless” technique that avoids traditional cranial fixation pins (head frame), maximizing patient comfort while providing precise treatment. The innovative and specialized technology delivers high-intensity radiation to a small, precise area in the brain that is responsible for tremor generation. The SRS procedure requires no anesthesia, incisions, drilling or head shaving and, because it is an outpatient procedure, patients can go home the same day.

Tremors in ET and TD-PD can affect almost any part of the body, but most commonly occur in the hands, and can happen at any age, but are usually seen in people 40 and older. While the condition isn’t life-threatening, it can be disabling and worsen over time. If tremors become severe, the condition may cause difficulty in performing everyday tasks, such as eating, drinking, writing, shaving, putting on makeup or even speaking.

“This procedure has the potential to improve the lives of many in our region, as tremors are the most common movement disorder, and SRS has been shown to be safe and effective in providing good tremor control and can improve quality of life in patients for whom medications did not work to control tremors,” said Dr. Mohamed Khattab, radiation oncologist, TGH Cancer Institute, and Assistant Professor, Radiation Oncology, and director of research, CNS Radiation Oncology, USF Health Morsani College of Medicine. “SRS can be particularly beneficial for patients with severe, medically refractory essential tremor and Parkinsonian tremor, meaning that their tremors do not typically see improvement with medications or other therapies.”

Guided by Gratitude: How the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation Inspired a Family’s Commitment

Derek and Charlie Attend A Panther’s Game Thanks to JDCHF

After their son’s successful cancer treatment, Derek Thornhill joined the Memorial and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation Boards to help ensure other families receive the same hope and support.

August 18, 2025 – When Derek Thornhill relocated his family from California to South Florida in 2022, he never imagined that just a few months later, his five-year-old son Charlie would be diagnosed with leukemia. What began as unexplained joint pain, fatigue and fevers quickly escalated into a life-altering diagnosis of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

“In an instant, everything changed,” Thornhill shared. “Your world narrows to one question—will my child survive this?”

The Clubhouse Model: Transforming Mental Health Recovery Through Community

By Andy McAusland, CEO, Mental Health America of the Palm Beaches

The clubhouse model stands as a beacon of hope for individuals living with serious mental illness. This evidence-based approach, transforming lives for over 65 years, creates communities where people are valued for their talents rather than defined by their diagnoses.

What Makes the Clubhouse Model Different

The clubhouse model fundamentally reimagines mental health recovery by centering on community, peer support, and meaningful work. Unlike traditional treatment facilities where individuals are patients receiving services, clubhouses welcome “members” who work alongside staff as equals. This approach recognizes that recovery involves rebuilding lives and reconnecting with society.

The model addresses social isolation by having members participate in running the clubhouse itself, taking on responsibilities in food service, administration, maintenance, and outreach. This work-ordered day structure provides purpose and builds confidence while developing practical skills that translate to employment opportunities.

Evidence-Based Benefits

Research consistently demonstrates the clubhouse model’s effectiveness across multiple recovery domains. A 2018 systematic review found solid evidence that clubhouses increase employment rates, reduce hospitalizations, and improve relationships and quality of life for people with serious mental illness. Studies show clubhouse members experience fewer psychiatric readmissions and demonstrate better long-term outcomes compared to those receiving traditional services alone.

Do No Harm: Rethink Treating Diabetes, Hypertension in Frail Older Adults

August 20, 2025 – Effectively managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension can greatly improve quality of life, reduce complications and extend longevity for older adults. However, when treatment becomes overly aggressive, it can do more harm than good. Every day, thousands of vulnerable older adults in the United States are harmed by intensive management of these conditions – resulting in dangerously low blood sugar or blood pressure, emergency visits, hospitalizations, disability or even death. These harms are preventable and often stem from well-intentioned but excessive medical care.

Despite clear guidelines promoting cautious, individualized care – especially for frail older adults and nursing home residents – these complications remain alarmingly common.

Joseph G. Ouslander, M.D., a professor of geriatric medicine at Florida Atlantic University’s  Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, and his collaborator, have published a paper in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society calling for urgent change in how health care providers are supported and held accountable. They argue that physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants prescribing diabetes and hypertension medications should be actively encouraged – not merely expected – to avoid overtreatment through carefully designed quality measures.

Ribbon cuttings set for September 3 

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (August 19, 2025) – Community-Based Connections, Inc. (CBCI), a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding the options available to children that promote their social and academic growth, in collaboration with Broward County Public Schools (BCPS), has opened two new Health and Resource Hubs in North and Central Broward County at Blanche Ely High School in Pompano Beach (1201 NW 6th Avenue) and William Dandy Middle School in Fort Lauderdale (2400 NW 26th Street). This innovative partnership, the first in the district to offer primary care health services through an on-site nurse practitioner, will further CBCI’s reach to enhance the health and well-being of underserved populations in the county. By integrating social services and primary care with a focus on addressing root causes of health disparities, CBCI aims to foster a healthier, more resilient community.

“Community-Based Connections is proud to launch these innovative Health Hubs as a bold new model for community care, ensuring that youth and families have access not only to holistic healthcare, but to a place where they are truly seen, heard, and supported,” said Mikelange Olbel, CEO of Community-Based Connections, Inc. “As the youngest child of immigrant parents who migrated to the U.S. in search of opportunities and a better quality of life, I am channeling their remarkable strength to break the cycle of poverty that continues to plague underserved populations in Broward County. While life-changing social service programs are at risk of being eliminated or underfunded, we are doubling down on our commitment to the promise of education and accessible healthcare. These new Health and Resource Hubs are a critical step to fulfilling our mission of creating new pathways for families in need.”

 NCH Becomes First in Florida to Offer the Latest Procedural Advancements using the New G5 System for Patients with Mitral and Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR)

August 19, 2025 – The Rooney Heart Institute at Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH) becomes first in Florida to offer the latest next-generation transcatheter Abbott MitraClip™ and TriClip™ G5 system for patients with mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, commonly known as “leaky” heart valves.

Mitral regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation occur when the valve between the top and bottom chambers of the heart fail to close properly, allowing blood to flow backward. Left untreated, these leaky valves can cause debilitating symptoms such as shortness of breath, swelling, fatigue, and can lead to serious complications including atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and even death. Historically, treatment options have been limited to high-risk surgery or medical therapy, which often does not successfully treat this disease.
