Pennsylvania Rural Population Revitalization Commission
Rural hospital leaders and advocates in Pennsylvania are planning for the future after the passing of President Trump’s spending bill, which cuts more than a trillion dollars from Medicaid over the next decade. The Senate added a $50 billion rural health transformation fund to the bill to address concerns about rural hospitals, but some experts worry how the funding will be used.
