  1. #NativeAmericaCalling: Residents brace for #Medicaid and #FoodAssistance cuts

    Tuesday, July 8, 2025

    "The Congressional Budget Office estimates the spending bill just signed by President Donald Trump will increase the number of people without #HealthInsurance by 16 million over the next ten years.

    "The $1.1 trillion cuts to Medicaid will also affect #NativeAmericans who rely on it to pay for health care through the #IndianHealthService and threatens #RuralHospitals with a high rate of Medicaid-dependent patients. The new spending plan also substantially reduces the number of people who will collect food assistance through the federal government.

    "Tune in to get insights on what these numbers mean for Native Americans who disproportionately rely on these two federal government programs.

    "Also, find out about the significance of the new Indigenous head of #Mexico’s #SupremeCourt. #HugoAguilarOrtiz (#Mixtec) took office on June 1 following judicial elections in Mexico."

  2. @w7voa The #Trump -tainted #UnitedStates is firing #scientists , diplomats, #ExtremeWeather forecasters and emergency managers. It’s also accelerating the closure of #RuralHospitals so #healthcare workers will be fired en masse across the country.

    So who *is* getting hired? And what is being *built*?

    #DonaldTheDeplorable is massively *hiring* #ICE kidnappers and building #ConcentrationCamps to fill with brown people at first. Next? newsweek.com/immigration-ice-b

  3. With the VA destroyed, farms obliterated, rural hospitals gone, and everyone in a panic, who is going to feed your glorious troops, General Dunce? Admiral Surrender? With millions dead from the "heartland" you heavily recruit from, I guess ICE will be our new army, and Stephen Miller will be its leader.

    Trump outsmarted you all. This is WWII Germany and you are the Nazis. You! Look in the f**king mirror! Sir.

    Also, it might be easier for you to salute back if you got your heads out of the ass of a New York fascist. Sir.

  4. John Thune's leadership faces friction as Senate Republicans push Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act before the Fourth of July. Resistance from conservatives, particularly Josh Hawley, centers on Medicaid changes seen as harmful to rural hospitals. While GOP leaders press on, they lack the votes needed for passage, with some calling for deeper cuts and a pause for clarity. Explore the full complexities of this political maneuvering in the article.

  5. August 1, 2024 - President's Letter | #AlbertaMedicalAssociation albertadoctors.org/services/me “There is no imminent help to keep #RuralGeneralist physicians in their clinics – not to mention the #RuralHospitals that utterly depend on their presence to run #EmergencyDepartments. Meanwhile, #AcuteCare, gutted by the pandemic, has been overwhelmed by increased illness and complex disease in patients…Our colleagues have continually been told to do more with less and just make it work.”

  6. Struggling to Survive, the First Rural Hospitals Line Up for New Federal Lifeline

    Facilities that convert to Rural Emergency Hospital status will get a 5% increase in Medicare payments as well as an average annual facility fee payment of about $3.2 million in exchange for giving up their expensive inpatient beds and focusing solely on emergency and outpatient care. - KHN.bit.ly/41P6S7x

  7. Texas Town Tries a New Model for Saving Rural Health Care

    Revamped facilities will transfer people who need inpatient care to full-service hospitals nearby.

    But for many rural communities, such conversions to fewer services will be a bitter pill to swallow. — Stateline bit.ly/3ILI2xP
