This week's Open Mic guest is Alan Morgan, CEO of the National Rural Health Association. The Budget Reconciliation Legislation approved by Congress included significant cuts to Medicaid. Morgan says rural healthcare facilities are already financially strapped and bear the brunt of providing health care to a disproportionate share of the populous that depends on government assistance for their needs.  Morgan is hopeful legislators will find additional funds to assist rural communities who may lose hospitals, healthcare clinics and long-term care facilities unless those funds are restored.
