Yes, rural hospitals closed during 2021-2024 due to financial stress, low patient volumes, and COVID-19 impacts. Data shows 8 closures in 2023 and 36 since 2020. The 2025 Republican tax bill's Medicaid cuts could worsen this, as rural hospitals rely heavily on Medicaid. However, closures also stem from staffing shortages and low reimbursements, not just the bill. Economic growth from tax cuts might help, but evidence is weak.
