Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Horsford Turn Their Backs on Rural Healthcare and the Families Who Rely on It

As rural hospitals across America face collapse, three of Nevada’s top Democrats Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford voted against the largest rural healthcare investment in a generation.

Their vote was a direct rejection of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB)—President Trump and Republicans’ bold plan to revitalize rural America, including $50 billion in new funding for rural hospitals through the Rural Health Transformation Program. The program is designed to stabilize and modernize struggling rural healthcare systems, recruit doctors and nurses, and deliver better outcomes for the underserved communities too often left behind.

But instead of putting Nevada families first, Titus, Lee, and Horsford put their radical agenda ahead of the people they were elected to serve.

“Radical Democrats Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford have made their priorities clear: ideology over outcomes, and politics over Nevadans,” said NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez. “While President Trump and Republicans are working to restore and revitalize rural America, Titus, Lee and Horsford are turning their back on Nevadans. Rural America deserves better.”

What Did They Vote Against?

The OBBB rural health investment wasn’t just a line item—it was a lifeline. The $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program supports:

• Keeping rural hospitals open, ensuring access to emergency care and specialty treatment for hard-to-reach communities.
• Improving health outcomes in underserved areas by funding mobile health units, telemedicine expansion, and community wellness initiatives.
• Retaining and attracting doctors and nurses with new incentives to stay in the communities that need them most.

All of this – gone, thanks to three out-of-touch Nevada Democrats who chose Washington politics over the people they represent.

Rural Nevadans know the stakes. Hospitals in Ely, Tonopah, and Pahrump are stretched thin. Staff are burnt out. And when medical professionals leave, they’re not coming back without serious investment and reform. The One Big Beautiful Bill was designed to reverse this trend. But thanks to Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford, rural Nevadans got a slap in the face instead.

Their vote makes one thing clear: they’d rather spend billions on sanctuary cities and benefits for illegal immigrants than keep rural hospitals open. That’s not just bad policy, it’s immoral.
