flag Trump allocates $10B from a $50B rural health program to boost access in underserved areas.

flag President Donald Trump announced a $10 billion initial allocation from a $50 billion, five-year Rural Health Transformation Program, launched under the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, to improve healthcare access in underserved rural areas. flag The initiative, funded through annual awards to all 50 states, focuses on modernizing infrastructure, expanding telehealth and AI tools, promoting preventive care, and reinstating youth fitness standards. flag It is paired with the administration’s “Great Healthcare Plan,” which proposes lowering drug prices via Most-Favored-Nation pricing, increasing price transparency, and redirecting subsidies to consumers. flag While praised for addressing long-standing rural health disparities, critics note the funding falls short of offsetting projected Medicaid cuts and question the fairness of distribution. flag The program is part of a broader midterm strategy, though Trump’s health care approval rating remains low.
