Posts - Bill - HR 2191 Physician Led and Rural Access to Quality Care Act
house 03/18/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to update rules around physician-owned hospitals to make it easier for rural communities to access quality care by adjusting referral exemptions and allowing select hospital expansions. Our goal is to improve healthcare availability in areas that currently face long travel distances to the nearest hospital.
