“I am completely opposed to this move. This would be an extremely unfair redistribution of dollars that are supposed to be going to our rural communities,” Bierlein said. “These funds help support our care facilities, including some that are already strained as they provide services. These funds ensure people aren’t in the car for long periods of time when they’re going to get care, which is especially important for our most vulnerable. Taking this away ultimately means hardship and fewer positive outcomes for patients, and that’s wrong.”
