"In addition, this bill does not do enough to address the urgent
need for more providers in rural communities. My hometown of Napoleonville
only has one doctor still practicing, and when he retires, I don't know that
we will find anyone to take his place. For rural America to survive and
stay healthy, we must reverse this trend through incentives for health care
providers to serve these communities."

doctors in small towns make health care more affordable?
