The U.S. House Ways and Means Committee today announced the creation of the “Rural and Underserved Communities Health Task Force.” A bipartisan group of four co-chairpersons will lead the new effort, which will convene members and experts to discuss the challenges of delivering health care in rural and underserved areas, and explore holistic bipartisan policy options that could improve outcomes and care in these communities. The group plans to hold its first meeting on July 25.
