States are scrambling for a slice of the Trump admin's new $50 billion fund for rural health care. But experts on the ground fear the program’s rushed timeline, lack of guardrails and potential for politicization will leave some hospitals struggling to stay open.

Watch it go into the pockets of large university health systems (that have bought up rural hospitals)...and the rural hospitals still close. The profitable flagship hospitals will reap any benefit.

They can say that. It draws sympathy , but in the current economy and the ev3nts in the last 10 years , if they are economically challenged, its due to bad decisions by them , because the funding has only increased due to illegal immigrants

"the funding has only increased due to illegal immigrants" sez who besides you? "... the Nebraska Hospital Association said 44% of the state's rural hospitals are already losing money, and passage of the bill could lead to a $3.6 billion cut in funding to Nebraska hospitals over the next decade."

Someone ought to look at many rural hospitals BEFORE this manifests itself. You'll need to do an accurate comparison. You will find that many have no ob/gyn depts. You can't have a baby in the town you live in.

In fact, the only real department is cardio. Most doctors are contracted because you can't get doctors to put their kids in lousy and getting lousier rural schools. The only employees are nurses and clerical. Care is already very sketchy.
