2025年,包括弗吉尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州在内的多个州申请联邦农村保健改革基金,在十年内寻求高达500亿美元的资金,以解决农村保健危机,如医生短缺、医院关闭、慢性病和阿片类药物过量发病率高。 In 2025, multiple states including Virginia and West Virginia have applied for federal Rural Health Transformation Funding, seeking up to $50 billion over ten years to address rural healthcare crises like doctor shortages, hospital closures, and high rates of chronic disease and opioid overdoses. 弗吉尼亚的应用在降低产妇死亡率和减少致命过剂量方面的进展的支持下,侧重于技术、劳动力培训和获得保健服务。 Virginia’s application, backed by progress in reducing maternal mortality and fatal overdoses, focuses on technology, workforce training, and health access. West Virginia的计划强调远程保健和招聘,但由于预计每年因削减医疗援助计划而造成10亿美元的联邦保健资金损失,面临挑战。 West Virginia’s plan emphasizes telehealth and recruitment but faces challenges due to projected $1 billion annual federal healthcare funding losses from Medicaid cuts. 虽然这个计划提供暂时的救济, 但专家警告说这个计划不会抵消1,370亿美元的长期医疗补助削减, While the program offers temporary relief, experts warn it won’t offset $137 billion in long-term Medicaid reductions, calling it insufficient for sustainable rural healthcare improvement. 医疗保健和医疗补助服务中心的最后决定可望在年底作出。 Final decisions by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are expected by year’s end.
