Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor.

Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

🚨 Heads up, Burke County! 🚨 The new federal budget could hit our local hospitals hard. As more people in rural areas lose healthcare coverage, hospitals face rising uncompensated care costs. Guess who ends up picking up the tab? ➡️ WE ARE.

👉The recent federal budget, enacted on July 4, 2025, includes significant changes to healthcare programs that are expected to have a disproportionate impact on rural areas.

Just last year, Governor Cooper expanded Medicaid to cover over 650,000 North Carolinians, including thousands in rural communities who had gone without care for too long.

👉For 60 years, Medicare and Medicaid have delivered on the promise that no American should go broke just because they get sick. It was Democrats that created these programs — and we’re still the ones expanding and defending them.

⚠️ To stay afloat, hospitals may have to increase charges for everyone. This isn't just a rural issue; it affects us ALL!

Rural hospitals and clinics may not have the capacity to offer a wide range of specialized services forcing patients to seek care elsewhere. This can include critical surgical procedures, advanced diagnostics, and specific therapies.
🎯Access to quality healthcare shouldn't depend on your zip code!

👉Foregoing Necessary Care: Due to travel burdens, financial constraints, or long wait times, some rural patients may simply forgo specialist care altogether, leading to delayed diagnoses, progression of diseases, and worse health outcomes.
August 6, 2025 at 1:51 PM
👉Increased Travel Burden: Patients often have to travel significant distances to urban centers to see a specialist, transportation costs, lodging, and lost wages, and can be a barrier for those with limited income, or with health conditions that make travel difficult.
August 6, 2025 at 1:50 PM
👉Longer Wait Times: When there are fewer specialists, patients have to wait longer to get appointments for crucial diagnoses and treatments. This can mean a condition worsens before it's addressed.

🚨The impact of a shortage of specialist doctors in rural areas like Burke County creates significant challenges for residents and the healthcare system.

⚠️Under The "Billionaire's Bonanza" Bill rural hospitals, like those serving Burke County depend heavily on Medicaid reimbursements.

😡Deep cuts will lead to reduced services, or closures, making it harder for residents to access medical care locally.

Call the #Toxictrio and tell them to STOP this.
