Rural Hospitals Are Disappearing Fast

Did you know hundreds of rural hospitals are on the brink of shutting down? Insurance companies pay them way less than city hospitals, and now places like Midcoast Medical Center in Texas are closing their doors for good. For locals, that means life-saving care is suddenly a 30+ minute drive away. With more Medicaid cuts looming, even more hospitals could vanish. Imagine needing an ER and the closest one is miles away! This is getting scary for small towns. #RuralHealthCrisis #HospitalClosures #HealthcareAccess #SmallTownLife #Health
