Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Tyler County Hospital, which has been serving Tyler County and the surrounding area since 1950. Home to roughly 20,000 people, Tyler County saw nearly 10,000 emergency room visits last year alone — proof of just how vital this hospital is to our community. America’s roots run deep in small towns with good people, and rural hospitals are the best of them. Yet Democrats are trying to strip away their funding. |
Our One Big Beautiful Bill included $50 billion through the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) to strengthen and stabilize rural hospitals and providers. However, Democrats’ version of the bill eliminates this lifeline while funneling billions into Obamacare subsidies that pad insurance company profits and squeeze out local providers. Our country wasn’t built to serve big pharma and giant corporations; it was built on hard work, faith, and the promise of opportunity in every community. Access to healthcare shouldn’t depend on your ZIP code. Rural America deserves the same quality care as anyone else. |
I recently penned an op-ed in Newsmax exposing the political games behind the Democrat-led government shutdown and how it’s hurting hardworking Americans. Senate Democrats are holding the government hostage over partisan demands, leaving our troops, border agents, and working families caught in the crossfire. The American people deserve better. They deserve a government that works for them, not against them—a government that funds its troops, secures its border, unleashes American energy, and keeps our economy strong. Read my full op-ed HERE. |
There’s a lot of misinformation out there about the government shutdown — and I want to talk to you directly about it. This Wednesday evening, my office will be calling constituents across the district for a live telephone town hall. I’ll answer your questions, clear up the confusion, and share the truth about what’s happening in Washington. So, if you see a call from me — pick up!
