I am pleased to join Congressman Feenstra in extending this impactful program for another five years as a co-lead.

Flood said he is co-leading legislation to reauthorize the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration program for five more years.

Evidence

Section 128 is titled “Five-year extension of the rural community hospital demonstration program” and changes the period to a 15-year extension period.

Congress extended the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration in 2020, before Flood entered Congress. This establishes the baseline extension but does not show Flood delivered a new five-year extension during his federal service.

Public Law 116-260, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021
secondary · model gpt-5.5 · confidence 88%

Congress.gov lists Mike Flood as House Nebraska District 1, in Congress 2022-Present, with sponsored and cosponsored legislation activity.

This confirms the relevant federal-service window for judging the commitment: Flood’s House service began after the 2020 extension and was ongoing as of the assessment date.

The law makes further continuing appropriations and other extensions for fiscal year 2025; text search found no Rural Community Hospital Demonstration or section 410A extension.

A major 2025 extenders law did not include a new Rural Community Hospital Demonstration extension, so it does not satisfy the commitment.

The law includes a “Health Care Extenders” division; text search found no Rural Community Hospital Demonstration, section 410A, or 15-year extension-period amendment.

The 2026 appropriations and health extenders law does not show delivery of another five-year extension for the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration.

Assessments

unresolved unknown

The only confirmed five-year extension was enacted in Public Law 116-260 in December 2020, before Mike Flood entered Congress, so it cannot be credited to his federal service. The cited 2025 and 2026 appropriations/extenders laws do not include a new Rural Community Hospital Demonstration extension, and the record provided does not show Flood sponsored or materially advanced a successful extension. Because Flood remains in federal office and the evidence does not establish a final failed attempt, the promise is not delivered but remains unresolved.
