I'm disturbed at the trend of rural hospitals getting taken advantage of. As we know, hospitals classified as urban receive higher Medicare payments, whereas Hospitals classified as rural benefit from easier access to the 340B program and 30% more graduate medical education funding. That said, an increasing issue in recent years has been the dual classification of some tax exempt hospitals as both rural and urban, seemingly taking advantage of a Medicare loophole in order to receive lucrative financial benefits.
