Continue supporting rural health care by expanding access to health care services, preventative screenings, telehealth, and chronic disease management in Rural America.

Congressman Rogers voted for the Improving Care in Rural America Reauthorization Act, ensuring the Rural Health Services Outreach Programs will continue through fiscal year 2030. The outreach programs will increase access to health care services and preventative screenings, improve chronic disease management and health outcomes, expand telehealth services, and reduce emergency department visits for nearly 500,000 individuals annually in Rural America.

He backed legislation to extend rural health outreach programs through 2030 and expand services such as telehealth and preventive screenings.

Rogers said he voted for H.R. 1 and said the Senate-added rural health safety net was not the end of the work; he would keep improving funding for rural hospitals and clinics.

Congress.gov shows H.R. 1 became Public Law 119-21 and includes telehealth-related HSA eligibility plus a rural health chapter that provides $10 billion per year for FY2026-FY2030 to support care in rural areas.

The enacted law contains direct rural health and telehealth provisions that align with the promise, though it does not fully cover every listed service area.

The enacted law created the Rural Health Transformation Program and appropriated $10 billion per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 for CMS allotments to states.

This directly advances the rural-health-access part of the promise through a $50 billion rural health program, but it is a funding framework rather than full delivery of every promised service category.

State plans must address rural residents' access to hospitals, providers, health care items and services, outcomes, prevention, chronic disease management, technology, workforce, and care close to home.

The statutory plan requirements map closely to the claim's access, telehealth-like technology, prevention, and chronic disease management components, supporting partial fulfillment.

Section 71306 permanently extends a high-deductible-plan safe harbor so plans may cover telehealth and other remote care without a deductible.

This is concrete enacted support for telehealth access, one of the named parts of the promise, though it is not limited to rural patients and does not by itself fulfill the whole rural health pledge.

Congress.gov records H.R. 1 as Public Law 119-21 on July 4, 2025, after House passage, Senate passage, and final House agreement to the Senate amendment.

This confirms the rural health and telehealth provisions became law during Rogers's 119th Congress term, not merely a failed or pending attempt.

Rogers said he voted for H.R. 1 and described a $50 billion rural health provider safety net, while adding that further work was needed for rural hospitals and clinics.

Rogers publicly claimed support for the rural health funding and acknowledged it was not the endpoint for rural hospitals and clinics, reinforcing partial rather than full fulfillment.
