“Today I rise to bring attention to rural hospitals and the important service they provide to communities across north Florida. Last week I had the honor of touring Doctors Memorial Hospital in Bonifay, Florida. I was so inspired by the hard work of the doctors, nurses, administrators, and volunteers who treat patients who otherwise would have to drive hours for care. Mr. Speaker, these hospitals are providing outstanding care but face unique new challenges from government regulation. In Congress, we need to make sure rural hospitals are not overburdened by regulation that can cause more harm than good at smaller facilities. Rural hospitals are vital to north Florida, and I am ready to work with Democrats and Republicans to make sure that we protect them. ____________________”
