Rural hospitals across America are closing due to massive Medicaid cuts—nearly $1 trillion slashed over ten years. Patients now drive hours for basic care. But instead of putting people first, Trump is threatening to withhold $50 billion in aid from blue states. Rural health care should be about saving lives, not political games. Congress must take action to require the funds be distributed based on need, without Trump’s extortion, and stop more rural hospitals from closing. Tell Congress: Rural Americans deserve health care access without political strings attached. Congress must ensure funds are dispersed as soon and as fairly as possible.
