Roberts bill aims to shield rural hospitals in Medicare overhaul
Kansas congressman Pat Roberts introduced the Rural Health Development Act to be folded into the Medicare overhaul. The bill would create grants for small rural hospitals, protect sole providers from payment cuts, and boost payments to primary care facilities to recruit doctors in underserved areas. Roberts also said talks with Agriculture Committee members about the Freedom to Farm Act continue amid Cotton concerns, as he seeks to limit farm program spending and replace subsidies with declining direct payments over seven years.
