North Dakota legislative leaders expect special session for federal rural health care dollars
North Dakota lawmakers are preparing for a rare windfall: $500 million in federal funding aimed at strengthening rural health care over the next five years. The money comes through a new national program designed to offset Medicaid cuts and support services like workforce recruitment, behavioral health, and infrastructure. With applications due by early November, the Legislature will form an interim committee and likely call a special session to decide how best to put the funds to work — and quickly. Mary Steurer with North Dakota Monitor has the full story.
