“Republicans’ Working Families Tax Cuts is a clear reflection of our commitment to opportunity, prosperity, and helping families thrive. The Rural Health Transformation Program, which I was proud to help create, makes the largest federal investment in rural health care in American history. Through innovative system-wide changes that empower states, the program stands to strengthen rural communities in West Virginia and lead to a more sustainable health care future. I look forward to seeing how our state will benefit from this historic funding,”Senator Capito said.
