Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn Deliver for Rural Iowa – Again!

July 28, 2025

Rural America just scored a historic win and it’s thanks to Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn. The One Big Beautiful Bill, a transformational piece of legislation that delivers $50 billion to support rural hospitals across the country through the Rural Health Transformation Program.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn voted for:

  • $10 billion in additional funding each year from 2026 through 2030
  • A lifeline for rural hospitals that have long been left behind
  • Better access to quality care for millions of Americans
  • Stronger local economies and more healthcare jobs in rural communities

Before the OBBB, less than 7% of Medicaid hospital spending reached rural hospitals. Now, thanks to Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn’s leadership, that failed status quo is finally being replaced with a bold plan to invest in the communities that need it most.

“While out of touch Democrats turned their backs, Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn stood up and fought for families, seniors, and workers who rely on rural healthcare. This is what real commonsense leadership looks like. Iowans can count on Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn to deliver.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Emily Tuttle
