I thought Josh Hawley said he'd stop rural Missouri hospitals from closing? Gawd what a terrible human being.

Well, thank Sen Josh Hawley, and representatives such as Jason Smith (a farmer himself who represents the SE Missouri rural population) for voting for this Big Beautiful Bill for Billionaires, Not Farmers.

Yep. The REPUBs will begin to feel what their constituents feel. The biggest tax increase in history - tariffs, paired with the biggest cut of essential gov. services in history, with the biggest rise in deficit. What can go wrong?

But let’s fill the White House with GOLD… PRIORITIES MATTER! Apparently, the healthcare of people in Missouri isn’t as important to the Trump Administration as “decorating” the White House in “gawdy gold!”

As a "blue dot" in rural Missouri, how are your neighbors handling this information? Do they see this information at all? Is there contrition? Looking forward to your updates as what you report and the effects of tariffs finally kick in.

No there is no contrition. W Bush was a complete disaster, Obama was a success, what did republicans respond with, Trump. They are incapable of learning or caring.

Unbelievably,they will not listen to what's inevitable.Only when they pull up to their local hospital for care and there's a CLOSED sign on the front entrance will they finally get it.Only when the astronomically high bill for next year's Medical Insurance comes will they finally get it.Only when...

Rural hospitals and nursing homes will close. That impacts everyone, not just those on Medicaid. It’s already hard to be seen in a timely manner in many places and it’s going to get a lot worse😩

It’s really hard to stay calm when people in “blue” states say things like this. We DID NOT all vote for this and many of us spend countless hours working for change. Your smug response is truly unhelpful and unnecessary. It doesn’t help grow a coalition for change in our areas.

How much money have Dems spent to support the party in rural areas? We’ve been largely ON OUR OWN and then get crap like this from people who are supposedly allies in other states. Also, not everyone has the privilege to up and move.

The big brains in DC can’t figure it out that when you continually slash Medicaid/Medicare re-embursement that no one can provide care.
