Summary
The Save Struggling Hospitals Act amends the Social Security Act to give extra Medicare payment adjustments to hospitals whose local wage index falls below the 25th percentile. The boost raises their wage index by half the gap between their current index and the 25th‑percentile level, while requiring the changes to be budget‑neutral. It aims to help financially weaker hospitals keep up with payment rates.
