Ten million dollars is appropriated to help small hospitals compile costs
What the document says“There are appropriated to the Secretary for fiscal year 2026, $10,000,000 for the purpose of providing grants and technical assistance to a hospital described in paragraph (3)(B) to enable such hospital to compile detailed information for use in the State studies required under paragraph (1), to remain available until expended.”
Paragraph (4) of subsection (a) appropriates $10,000,000 to the Secretary for fiscal year 2026, to remain available until expended, for grants and technical assistance to rural low volume hospitals so they can compile detailed information for the State studies.
What the document actually says“There are appropriated to the Secretary for fiscal year 2026, $10,000,000 for the purpose of providing grants and technical assistance to a hospital described in paragraph (3)(B) to enable such hospital to compile detailed information for use in the State studies required under paragraph (1), to remain available until expended.”
Ten million dollars goes to the health chief for 2026. It pays for grants and help to small rural hospitals so they can gather the facts.
A small hospital may not have staff to pull cost data together. Without help it might be left out of the study.
