- Yoel Bakas: Some oncology programs are absorbing 20 % cuts right now. That number does not just hit next year's operating budget. It lands on capital decisions that were already in motion. The LINAC purchase approved six months ago. the AI contract in final negotiations. the software subscription that just renewed. The service line expansion that finance signed off on when the revenue picture looked different. None of those get easier when the budget shrinks. They get harder. The assumptions underneath them were built for a program that had more room than it does now. A budget cut is not a reason to freeze. It's a reason to look hard at every number that no one looked at before it was signed. The capital commitment most likely to hurt you. is the one where no one went back through the assumptions once the environment changed.
