Virginia hospital emergency departments see increase in patients without proof of insurance
Virginia hospital emergency departments saw a 49% increase in self-pay patients from 2022 to 2025, with 405,584 such visits in 2025. The rise is linked to potential impacts from H.R. 1, the Budget Reconciliation Act of 2025, which could reduce healthcare funding and coverage for millions.
