WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) introduced the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program Reauthorization Act to extend the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration (RCHD) for five years.
The RCHD provides critical support to rural hospitals across the country by allowing them to test innovative hospital payment models under Medicare that boost financial stability to maintain and improve healthcare access in rural communities, keep families healthy, and support local economies.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) introduced the Rural Maternity Options for Medical Support (MOMS) Act of 2026, legislation to strengthen and stabilize maternal healthcare in rural communities nationwide.
As a father of four and former volunteer EMT for 15 years in my hometown of Hull, I know the vital importance of affordable and accessible healthcare for Iowa families, particularly our neighbors in rural Iowa. Traveling across our district, I’ve had countless conversations with Iowans about the skyrocketing cost of healthcare and declining access to care in rural communities. Iowans are paying too much for routine checkups and prescription drugs and traveling long distances for doctor’s appointments and emergency care. It’s unsustainable and must change.
HULL, IOWA – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) praised the Trump administration and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for approving $209 million for rural hospitals and rural healthcare in Iowa for 2026 as part of the Rural Health Transformation Program.
This transformational investment in rural healthcare was made possible by the Working Families Tax Cuts, which Feenstra helped write and pass.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act.

Born and raised in rural Iowa, expanding access to high-quality, affordable healthcare in our rural communities is personal for me. Regardless of zip code, our families, seniors, and veterans should not have to travel long distances or jump through headache-inducing hoops to get the care they deserve or the prescriptions they need.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee passed, the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act. This legislation would provide a pathway for Medicare coverage of multi-cancer early detection (MCED) screenings pending approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) issued the following statement after attending the signing ceremony for the HALT Fentanyl Act at the White House:
HULL, IOWA – In February, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) cosponsored the Rural Health Care Facility Technical Assistance Program Act, which would codify the Rural Hospital Technical Assistance Program at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and rename it to the Rural Health Care Facility Technical Assistance Program.
