What it does

The Protect Medicaid and Rural Hospitals Act would repeal certain Medicaid-related changes made by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, specifically reversing modifications to state provider tax authority and state-directed payments under Medicaid. It would also rescind funding previously appropriated for those provisions. Additionally, the bill increases funding for the rural health transformation program by allocating $10 billion annually for fiscal years 2031 through 2035. These changes primarily affect state Medicaid programs and rural healthcare providers.
