Trump Touts Rural Health Fund in Affordability Push

“Every single Democrat in Congress voted against the lifeline for rural communities, and I hope everyone knows this,” Trump said. “And this is not about elections, but I hope you remember this in the midterms, because the Democrats are just so horrible toward the rural community.

“Remember that rural hospitals and communities were devastated by soaring costs. And that continues despite colossal increases in government spending. Since Obamacare was passed, only 7% of the annual Medicaid spending on rural hospitals has gone to rural hospitals. Obama didn’t care about the rural community.

“To be totally blunt, what he did care about [was] insurance companies. And this was a bill to make insurance companies wealthy. … As a result, rural healthcare facilities have suffered from low occupancy rates, workforce shortages, and failing programs that put Band-Aids over the problems in those communities. And we’re not going to have that. We’re taking great care of them.”
