When Hurricane Helene forced a rural Tennessee hospital into a dramatic rooftop evacuation last September, its top executive vowed to rebuild the damaged facility as he watched the rescue unfold from a washed-out bridge.

That promise is now in peril because of the [Trump’s] One Big Beautiful Bill.

    It’s a rural town, which means mostly Republicans.

    I hope they all suddenly have an epiphany, take up an interest in current affairs, and vote against Republicans.

    I expect they will blame Democrats.

      Republicans, and some Democrats, and kids who can’t vote either way. But all worth it if the problem “solves itself” (it won’t, shitty people can have good health).

        Take your self righteousness elsewhere. I didn’t vote to harm them. Their voters did. If you want to blame someone, blame them. I’m pro-hospitals (as if I need to say it) and Medicare for all, but elections have consequences and this is one.
