Keith Stokes+FollowRural Hospitals Are Disappearing FastDid 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 #Health00Share
Andrew Hutchinson+FollowRural Hospitals Are Disappearing FastDid you know over 140 rural hospitals have shut down since 2010? And now, some policymakers want to replace trained doctors with volunteers—seriously. The result? Sicker patients, dangerous births, and whole communities left stranded. Pregnant women are driving hours for care or going without. It’s not just a health crisis—it’s a life-or-death situation for rural America. We need real investment, not empty slogans. This is about more than hospitals; it’s about survival. #RuralHealthCrisis #HealthcareMatters #SaveOurHospitals #MaternalHealth #PolicyFail #Health20Share
