📣 Rural Missouri, listen up.
Mark Alford’s been popping into hospitals and clinics across our district — smiling for cameras and promising “funding” tied to some bill he claims will help rural healthcare.
Here’s the truth: there is no passed law bringing new money to our hospitals. Nothing has cleared Congress. Nothing has been signed. What has moved forward are budget proposals that slash Medicaid — the one program keeping many small hospitals above water.
Missouri’s own rural health experts have warned that cuts like these would gut local healthcare systems. Dozens of rural hospitals are already operating on razor-thin margins. Lose Medicaid reimbursements, and some will shut down completely.
So when Alford says “funding is coming,” ask him this:
• Which bill?
• What law?
• When does it actually take effect?
Because right now, his words don’t match the record. The only concrete thing on the table are Republican budget plans that shrink Medicaid, not strengthen it.
And the impact on our communities?
💔 ERs closing.
💔 Clinics cutting hours.
💔 Fewer nurses, fewer specialists, fewer jobs.
That’s not “fighting for Missouri.” That’s letting rural families fend for themselves.
Rural Missouri deserves straight answers — not photo ops and false promises.
