Balderdash!

After the damage done to Obamacare ripples through the system, and rural hospitals find themselves with far less federal support, and after the damage done to Medicaid and SSDI take their toll, and after the number of foreign students in medical programs drop, rural areas will find themselves with far less than two thirds of the doctors that they need.
