Some respite.
It's all expensive, frightening, inhumane, and stupid.
But the insensate CMS bureaucracy takes a court order to be awakened to the harm they cause.
I have had enough.
CMS should let Rhode Island try humane end-of-life care through CMMI.
Let's see if it works at a state.
I bet it will save money, serve families better at a very, very delicate time, and perhaps even make a model for better health care everywhere.
Unfortunately, Mr. Chairman, one of the things I've learned in my tenure in the Senate is that a nominee saying that they're willing to work with me amounts to exactly zero.
Thank you for taking time to visit with me in my office prior to today's hearing to talk about a lot of the important issues affecting health care in my home state of Wyoming, as well as the nation.
I appreciate your willingness to serve our country.
During our meeting, we discussed the challenges that health care providers and patients are facing in rural America.
Financial obstacles facing rural hospitals, workforce shortages, issues of OBGYN, and then new regulations that are painful that have come out of the Biden administration are hurting our ability to provide nursing home staffing.
So let me start, if I could, with rural hospitals and the closures of hospitals like that.
There are a lot of challenges facing hospitals in rural communities and frontier areas.
We have 33 hospitals in Wyoming.
Twenty six are really located in areas, locations often hard to get to.
Weather impacts them.
Ten have had to cut available services, and this is a concern of rural hospitals, both Republican and Democrat states, either way, bipartisan, critical that the workforce challenges, financial challenges that we're facing are addressed.
Well, I appreciate it because often with financial strains on the local hospital, one of the common services to be cut in rural hospitals and maternity services.
And we're talking counties larger than the states of Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, counties larger than those whole states.
