Mississippi awarded $205M for second year of federal rural health program
The five-year program will fund state plans for maternal care, chronic disease and workforce shortages after Congress created it in response to Medicaid cuts.
- The CMS announced $10 billion in Rural Health Transformation program grants to all 50 states for 2027, strengthening rural health systems across America in the program's second year.
- Congress created the program in response to Medicaid cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that President Donald Trump signed last year; the five-year initiative provides $50 billion total.
- Texas received the largest award, almost $282 million, while West Virginia received $202,081,355; half the annual funding is distributed as $100 million baseline grants to each state.
- Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said the funding will "expand access to care, strengthen the rural health workforce, improve prevention," as states deploy resources for maternal health and workforce recruitment.
- Democrats, who won the majority in both the House and Senate in this month's midterm elections, are aiming to push for a repeal of the law, which would still need President Trump's signature.
