John,
Rural hospitals have been on life support for years, and that was before the pandemic hit.
As politicians in Washington slashed support for Medicare and Medicaid, rural hospitals were left with less and less to treat the patients who came through their doors — patients who were older, more likely to have a pre-existing condition, and less likely to have private insurance.
Rural hospitals need financial relief and medical resources to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Add your name and demand Congress take action NOW to protect our communities >>>
The first round of relief funding wasn’t enough, John. By forcing rural hospitals to borrow money and blocking future Medicare and Medicaid payments until the debt is repaid, the Trump administration is pushing cash-starved healthcare systems onto even shakier financial footing before the worst of the pandemic truly hits our communities.
We need a healthcare policy that puts people first — and coronavirus relief that makes sure rural hospitals have everything they need to weather this storm. Sign our petition demanding Congress take action NOW >>>

This November, we have a clear choice: we can protect rural health systems, their patients, and their staff for years to come, or we can continue to let these critical institutions fail without the support and resources they need.
It’s time to work towards the future where rural Americans can receive the care they need in their own communities.
Yours in this fight,
