But while every state applied for money from the Rural Health Transformation Program, it won't be distributed equally. And critics worry that the funding might be pulled back if a state's policies don't match up with the administration's.

Yeah, no kidding.

This is how "governance" is done under the worst people.

So much for state's rights. The blue states get to FUND nearly all of this, but then they get their policies dictated to them by the people that put dickheads like Taco into position in the first place.

What a clusterfuck.

Live in a blue state next to the county that was almost the reddest in the state, turns out their hospital system mentioning last year the amount of patients between the ages of 0-25 that were on Medicaid was 100% made a lot of them start to rethink things. Fuckin idiots

They're literally a mafia now. I hope they learn how extensive the U.S.'s racketeering laws are soon.

I fear you'll instead learn how selectively those laws are applied...

States will share $10 billion

I'm seeing the US give multiple times that to Argentina and Israel to fund their free education and healthcare. How come the American people can't have that much?

Also remember how he cut medicaid benefits

This isn't America First. It's America Last
