More on Health
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.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, on National Rural Health Day, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) joined the Iowa congressional delegation in sending a letter to CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz in strong support of Iowa’s application for the Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program.
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.
HULL, IOWA – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) helped introduce the Preserve Access to Rapid Ambulance Emergency Medical Treatment Act – the PARA–EMT Act for short – which would establish a grant program for rural communities to recruit, train, and retain paramedics and emergency medical technicians.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) helped introduce legislation to ensure continued access to durable medical equipment (DME) for seniors and individuals with disabilities. This bill extends critical relief first provided in the 2022 Omnibus Appropriations Act, preventing steep reimbursement cuts that would jeopardize access to essential medical supplies.
