House Concurrent Resolution No. 37, introduced by Cayler, expresses the Idaho Legislature's findings and urges the state to reject and return any funds linked to the Rural Health Transformation Program. The resolution highlights that Idaho is set to receive approximately $1 billion from the federal government for this program, which the Legislature views as borrowed money that will burden future generations. It argues that increasing federal funding will not enhance rural health outcomes but will instead exacerbate healthcare inflation, given that the U.S. already spends significantly on healthcare compared to other high-income nations.

The resolution further emphasizes that the funds come with restrictions that limit state flexibility and asserts that Idaho is not obligated to accept these funds simply because they have been awarded. Consequently, the Legislature strongly encourages the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee to refrain from appropriating any funds related to the Rural Health Transformation Program and urges the State Treasurer to return any received funds to the U.S. Treasury, which is facing a substantial national debt.
