What this means
On September 29, 2026, Senate Majority Leader John Thune used floor remarks to discuss the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program and state-funded projects. He cited a $13 million South Dakota behavioral-health investment and examples involving pharmacies, hospital records, transport and emergency-service training in other states. Thune criticized Democratic efforts to repeal the program; the release reports his remarks and previously announced funding, rather than opening a new application round.
