Since 2005, 160 rural hospitals have closed in the US. Fewer rural hospitals mean ambulances need to travel farther distances.

When one EMS agency closes, it puts a tremendous strain on surrounding agencies that may be even farther away from care. https://t.co/xzXePIONWG (2/6)

I would love to read a tweet that says:

Just fired @realDonaldTrump, now former president of the U.S., was in charge of the most crooked administration ever. It was a total fraud on the American people and should be properly corrected.
