Support HR 2159 by Michael Yu, Aug 14, 2008 (11:02pm)

The rural areas of this country needs hospitals and doctors just as much as we do. Therefore, the creation of these Critical Access Hospitals in certain rural areas is a very good idea. In order for these hospitals to continue to function, they must also need money to function and should be reimbursed under traditional Medicare plans. Therefore, this bill should be passed.
