The new $50 billion rural health fund will be a significant injection of money for struggling health systems. But, it’s temporary and does not make up for the looming $137 billion in Medicaid cuts in rural areas.

The One Big Beautiful Bill was sold as a major economic boost. But what happens when the trade off is health access? A thread 🧵 #HealthyPeopleHealthyEconomy
With the big, bad budget's $1 trillion in cuts to health care, families need to be prepared for the worst. Whether you use Medicaid for health care, or get coverage from private insurance, millions of Americans could lose coverage or see their costs go up.

We don't yet have a Congressional Budget Office score for the Senate's version of the budget reconciliation bill. But, if I had to guess, the Medicaid cuts will be larger than the $793 billion in the House bill.
