Rural health clinics are closing after Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ raising the legislation’s political risks

The closures, Augusta Medical Group said in its statement, were part of the company’s “ongoing response to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the resulting realities for healthcare delivery.”
