Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance is warning that rural hospitals are closing down in part due to the cost of caring for migrants who cannot pay their medical bills.
This week, multiple media outlets are using skewed “fact checks” to slam Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) for spotlighting the impact of migration on hard-pressed hospitals in rural communities.
Vance recently spoke about the pressures that rural hospitals face during a Trump campaign rally in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where he was asked about the closure of several hospitals and clinics in the area, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
In reply, Vance said that rural hospitals are shutting down because they are “bearing the burden of providing health care to millions of people who shouldn’t be in this country to begin with.”
This, I do not doubt.
