Please stop making rural hospitals political pawns. Treating rural hospitals as political currency sends a message that rural communities do not matter, hardens already large divides, and punishes populations that are far more diverse than most on social media would like to acknowledge.
Why are *Democrats* considering asking for rural hospital funding? That's a problem Republicans created for their own base.
Democrats should oppose rural funding as leverage to get things for their own voters, the same way Republicans attack urban areas because rural voters demand it.
