Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care

22. A lot of rural areas in the United States are essentially Medical Deserts.

This situation is going to get worse as brutal budget cuts to many federal health programs make the hospitals and clinic's in rural areas so unprofitable that they have to close because the people these facilities serve are going to lose their health insurance, and don't have enough money to pay for healthcare themselves.
With the facilities closed, the health care workers will be forced to leave the area, and many will never come back, even if the Trump government is eventually voted out of office, and agency funding is restored.

This will not only drastically reduce the quality of life for millions of people, but actually kill a lot of people.
The immense damage the Republicans are doing to this nation will be with us for decades.
This is a new kind of domestic terrorism, with a reverse Robin Hood theme.
Take from the poor and give to the rich.
