Sorry, Democrats: Rural Hospitals Aren’t at Risk from Trump’s Reforms

Is America on the verge of a rural hospital apocalypse?

That’s the Democrats’ claim now that President Trump’s signature law is in effect. Hardly a day goes by without leftist politicians and their media allies predicting a wave of hospital closures in the nation’s heartland. Democrats even issued a list of 338 rural hospitals they say are threatened. But as we show in a new paper, the One Big Beautiful Law doesn’t hurt rural hospitals. It may even help them financially.
