Fair Funding for Rural Hospitals Act

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill sets a minimum amount of money that each state must receive for hospitals that treat a large number of low-income patients through the Medicaid program. Specifically, it guarantees that every state gets at least $20 million per year from 2025 through 2029 for these hospitals, with the amount going up after that to keep pace with rising costs. This minimum applies even if other rules or calculations would normally reduce the funding.
