RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history
BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

Rural hospitals just got robbed by Washington—$155 BILLION taken in Medicaid cuts, only a fraction replaced. Our communities deserve better than shutdowns and empty promises. #SaveRuralHospitals

Medicaid cuts threaten rural hospitals — and access to maternity care
Medicaid cuts in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill threaten rural hospitals, risking service cuts and closures that could severely limit access to maternity care.

🔥 Rural hospitals in Kentucky & Appalachia are closing because Medicaid was cut — period. When Medicaid pays for 1 in 4 rural adults, slashing it means ERs disappear, ambulances drive an hour, and people die. 🚑💔

TINA SMITH: Secretary Kennedy, a trillion dollars in cuts according to the CBO, 7 million people losing their health insurance because of the Trump administration. That's not debatable
RFK Jr: There is nobody legally enrolled in Medicaid who is losing coverage
SMITH: That is just not true!

Bottom line:
Yes — rural hospitals in KY/Appalachia ARE closing because of Medicaid cuts.
This isn’t “efficiency.” It’s abandonment.
People warned this would happen. It happened anyway.

🏥 Medicaid: Avg cost ≈ $9–10K/enrollee/year.
$150B could cover 15M+ people or stabilize rural hospitals.
KY knows this pain: hospital closures = longer drives, worse outcomes.

Could your local hospital be one of the 300+ at risk of closing due to the GOP budget bill?
Find out if your hospital is on the vulnerable list (scroll past the letter) and call your Senator to demand a "no" vote.
