National Rural Health Association - NRHA - NRHA [1]

['Alexa Mckinley Abel', 'Carrie Cochran-Mcclain Drph']

Date: 2025-07

The National Rural Health Association issued the following statement in response to the Senate passing its reconciliation legislation:

“The Senate recently passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that would make sweeping changes to Medicaid and the ACA Marketplaces resulting in significant coverage losses for rural Americans. This legislation will limit access to care for all rural patients by ending health care coverage for rural residents nationwide and putting financial strain on rural facilities who care for them. The National Rural Health Association (NRHA) is extremely concerned by the Senate’s cuts to provider taxes and state-directed payments which directly support rural providers and facilities. Further, NRHA is concerned that the Rural Health Transformation Program, dedicated to offset the Medicaid cuts on rural communities, will fall short of addressing the other provisions in this legislation. We urge our partners in the House to reject these massive cuts and protect rural healthcare.” - Alan Morgan, CEO
