The OBBB establishes a $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). While the RHTP provides new funding, analyses show that the Medicaid cuts far outweigh the fund, resulting in a net reduction of revenue for rural hospitals.

This is highly misleading. CMS exercised significant discretion in the design of the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) and made a number of substantive choices which were not compelled by Congress. Here are just a few examples. 1/6
Kennedy is getting grilled by governors on the Rural Health Fund and concerns about the fairness of how the $50 billion will be distributed. He responded by distancing himself from it, saying that the House and Senate decided how the program works and he won't be able to change it.

Periodic reminder that the "One Big Bullshit Bill" was a disaster for both the state and the country, and no one in our federal delegation should have voted for it. Insofar as the RHTP was our "30 pieces of silver," it has failed to offset the damage. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

A key point made at BGH's community conversation in early summer was that the RHTP money is intended for new programming, with annual review. There is much uncertainty about whether these grants will actually keep hospitals afloat (and obviously we hope so!)

At the same time the math on medicaid and other reimbursement cuts is starting to look a lot more real too.
And the absolute nonsense process that will be 50 different RHTP grant applications for any of that funding bucket... it's a mess.

You are absolutely right. I worked on 5 RHTP grant submissions in our state and am managing another one. While I am grateful to get funding the red tape and reporting requirements keeps us from putting money to where we need it to care for our communities and build sustainability.
