Rep. Ron Kresha Supports Rural Health Bill That Delivers for Minnesotans
St. Paul, MN — Rep. Ron Kresha is proud to support the passage of a major health care bill, HF2435, that puts Minnesotans first and delivers real, lasting results. The legislation reflects a strong commitment to common sense, compassion, and responsible leadership.
This bill secures critical funding for rural ambulance services, ensuring that emergency response remains strong and reliable no matter where people live. It helps stabilize rural hospitals and pharmacies by unlocking new federal resources to keep health care providers open and serving their communities.
“This is a win for families, a win for rural Minnesota, and a win for every taxpayer who expects government to work for them,” said Rep. Kresha. “We are delivering real solutions with real impact.”
With Minnesota facing a $6 billion budget deficit, the bill makes spending cuts to government without cutting Medicaid for families and children in need. This frees up hundreds of millions of dollars to support necessary services for residents and working families across the state.
By cutting wasteful spending and rejecting costly bureaucracy, the bill prioritizes care over government growth. It also blocks a proposed increase to the provider tax, protecting Minnesotans from higher medical costs at a time when affordability matters more than ever.
The bill passed the House floor yesterday evening.
