Print-Friendly Version

[Regarding “Rural Hospitals Not Open for Business,” January 2015] one of the easiest ways to help save our rural hospitals is to encourage states that have refused to expand Medicaid to accept the generous subsidy offered by the federal taxpayer (100 percent initially but never less than 90 percent) and expand the program so that all of the citizens of their state will be covered. The idea that Americans who earn less than $1,000 a month don’t deserve health care is hard to understand in a country that pretends to admire the actions of the Good Samaritan.
