About this listen

Is $50 billion enough to save rural healthcare? In this episode, the AMGA team dives deep into the Rural Health Transformation Fund—a program born from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that promises up to $500 million per state over five years. But there's a catch: the same legislation cuts almost $1 trillion from Medicaid over the next decade. Join the AMGA public policy team as we unpack what this means for rural hospitals on the brink of closure, the communities they serve, and why funding rural healthcare isn't just a rural problem. We'll explore the application requirements, the real impact of Medicaid cuts, and what Secretary Kennedy might prioritize as states compete for these critical funds.
