As the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities notes, rural areas in particular depend on Medicaid spending. Nearly half of all children in rural areas, 47 percent, receive health insurance through Medicaid. Rural hospitals, which have struggled to stay afloat in the face of broad and overlapping challenges, also rely on Medicaid to stay open and provide needed services to isolated areas.

House Republicans also want to slash the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to reduce so-called waste, fraud and abuse. (In truth, SNAP is among the most efficient federal assistance programs in operation.) Again, these cuts " which will effectively pay for tax benefits for people with higher incomes " will most likely hit children and other vulnerable populations hardest. And as with the proposed Medicaid cuts, this will hit hard for rural areas, where roughly one in seven households receives SNAP benefits.
