This won’t fix what DC broke.

Sullivan & Dunleavy are falling in line yet again.

Dear Jason, The current administration has officially begun rolling out what it's calling the Rural Health Transformation Program—a five-year, $50 billion fund that's supposed to help states strengthen their rural healthcare systems. On the surface, that might sound like good news. But let's be clear about what's really happening here. This program is being used to distract voters from the damage self-serving politicians have already done. When they passed the Big, Bullshit Bill, it slashed $1 trillion in funding for affordable healthcare—a resource that both Alaskans and our rural hospitals rely on just to get by.  Now, after taking an axe to affordable healthcare, out-of-touch politicians are trying to act like they're riding to the rescue by offering back a fraction of what was cut, with strings attached. This funding can't be used to build new hospitals or clinics, even in rural communities where aging facilities are overcrowded or nonexistent. It can't be used to support affordable healthcare. And it can't be used to expand broadband access, meaning many of the so-called "modern healthcare solutions" tied to this program won't even work in many of our rural communities. Dan Sullivan and Mike Dunleavy were quick to fall in line, touting Trump's new plan as if it's going to solve our healthcare crisis. But this does not restore affordable healthcare, and it does nothing to help build more robust healthcare services for rural Alaskans. DONATE TODAY Alaskans deserve real solutions, not political theater. We need leaders who will fight to fully fund affordable healthcare, protect rural hospitals, and make sure families can afford the care they need — not leaders who cheer half-measures after helping create the crisis. That's why our work matters. With your support, we can elect leaders who will stand up to harmful legislation and actually put Alaska families first. ––––––––– In solidarity, Eric Croft Chair Alaska Democratic Party Paid for by the Alaska Democratic Party (www.akdems.org).
