Hard to appeal to compassion or any other such value because they are obviously perfectly okay with people dying. You might instead need to point out how many businesses don’t offer benefits and need their workforce to have medicaid.

or mention that a shitload of rural hospitals subsist on medicaid patients and will be forced to shut down because of this

I am wondering if they care about that. If you are too sick to work in a field or slaughterhouse in the rural ecosystem, are you any good for the empire?

or all those dismal highway rest stop towns where there used to be a mill or factory 50 years ago, but now it's just gas stations and fast food and a dollar store, and probably only the managers get enough hours for employer insurance

Yep. Our nation specializes in consuming and having enough wealth that it is services industries that have risen and made any sense at all. So best rural can expect is a monstrous computing data farm giving them electric brownouts and taking water but employing 30 people after the buildout phase.
