This is what @Blackvegetable  says daily.     

------------------------------------------------------------------------------On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed a budget reconciliation bill into law that includes significant reductions in federal health care spending, large tax cuts, and other changes. The new law will reduce federal Medicaid spending alone by $911 billion over ten years and lead to 10 million more people becoming uninsured by 2034 based on Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates. While this legislation was being debated, Members of Congress from both parties raised concerns about the potential impact on rural hospitals, particularly given the ongoing trend of rural hospital closures. In response, and just prior to passage, the Senate added $50 billion in funding for a new “rural health transformation program,” referred to here as the “rural health fund.”
 This brief describes the rural health fund, explains what the law says about the allocation of funds, and highlights outstanding questions about how the funds will be distributed across and within states to pay rural hospitals and for other purposes. Based on the statutory language, it is not yet clear what specific criteria the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will ultimately use to approve or deny state applications and distribute funds across states; what share of the $50 billion fund will go to rural areas; what share will go to the nearly 1,800 hospitals in rural areas or be used for other providers or purposes; whether funds will be targeted to certain types of rural hospitals, such as the 44% of rural hospitals with negative margins; and to what extent the CMS Administrator will be able to influence how states use their funds prior to approving an application. Further, the law does not require CMS to publish information about the distribution of funds so that the allocation decisions are transparent. Similar questions were raised during the COVID-19 pandemic about how well provider relief funds were targeted to hospitals with the greatest need.The rural health fund includes $50 billion, which is a little over one third (37%) of the estimated loss of federal Medicaid funding in rural areas

The "Big Beautiful Bill" (One Big Beautiful Bill Act) is a 2025 U.S. law, enacted under President Trump, that has led to the closure of rural health clinics, like those run by Augusta Medical Group in Virginia, due to significant cuts to Medicaid funding, impacting low-income patients and straining rural healthcare providers. The legislation, which aims to cut federal spending, reduces Medicaid eligibility and increases healthcare costs, causing providers to shutter facilities and forcing patients to travel farther for care, creating a rural healthcare crisis.

The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) is a 2025 U.S. law significantly changing Medicaid, impacting health clinics by reducing federal funding, adding work/income requirements for enrollees (like 80 hrs/month), increasing costs for clinics (especially rural ones), and potentially causing clinic closures and millions losing coverage by capping Medicaid payments and tightening eligibility, forcing providers to raise prices or cut services, creating major challenges for underserved communities.

Trump injected 50 billion into rural medical care yesterday.  Maryland gets 128 Million over 5 years.. Not that it's process, but it is a good thing.  The bypassing of congress is not healthy.

ACA is a hoax.  M4A is the only answer at this point.  The burden should be removed from employers.
