Trump and Tom Barrett Secure Rural Healthcare Funding

January 16, 2026

Beginning this month, Michiganis expected to receive over $170 million in critical rural healthcare funding thanks to Tom Barrett, a commonsense investment designed to keep rural hospitals open, expand access to care, and ensure families aren’t forced to travel hours for basic medical services.

“President Trump and Tom Barrett aren’t just talking about rural healthcare, they’re delivering it. This funding is a lifeline for Michigan communities that have been ignored for too long. While Democrats play politics, Tom Barrett is focused on results, keeping rural hospitals open.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
