Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The bill includes the Rural Health Transformation Program, which provides $190 million to Virginia for rural health care facilities. However, the funding cuts mean that about 300,000 Virginia residents may lose health care coverage. The RHTP funds new facilities but does not cover salaries or operating expenses previously covered by Medicaid.
