Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[November 20, 2025]

Today is National Rural Health Day is a reminder of what’s at stake. I’ve been in nearly every rural hospital across the Fourth District, talking with the people who are doing everything they can to keep health care close to home.
When the government shut down, we didn’t. We kept visiting hospitals because rural Missouri can’t afford political games. Democrats wanted to put the $50B Rural Health Transformation Program on the chopping block.
We actively fought to stop that and keep our rural hospitals open—for the families who depend on them!
[….]

Some of the responses:

Who is going to tell him?

it doesn’t matter what you tell him. He’s going to lick the boots and pander to the MAGA crowd. It’s all he’s capable of.
Well, that and being a bully.

You voted to kill our hospitals when you voted for the Big Beautiful Bill.

Hey Mark Afraid, A Fox News Poll shows 76% of voters say the economy is in bad shape. Remember saying we are in America’s golden era? Maybe a golden shower era or the gaudy golden oval office era???

If you’re so committed to rural healthcare, then why did you vote to gut Medicare and Medicaid? The BBB will actually hurt rural providers. But you knew that already, didn’t you Mark?

He voted that way because his orange master told him to. He doesn’t have the ability for independent thought just like the rest of the rePubes.

St. Mary’s, Blue Springs. Lee’s Summit Medical. Rural hospitals??!! 😂🤣
How’d you vote, Mark ??!!

Do you ever read the comments? Just asking.

Rural Missourians don’t need another photo-op hospital tour.
They need leaders who will actually fix the root problems not just blame Democrats while voting against the very policies that would save rural care.

Why cut Medicare?

That’s why you voted to cut $137B from rural health, right Mark?

Wait, we care about health these days? That’s funny!! 🤣

That’s it. The day is over.

Research suggests that Congress members who get fat healthcare donations are about as likely to support tough price controls as a cat is likely to take a bath voluntarily.
The U.S. healthcare industry isn’t just in the business of healing-it’s basically a political superhero with a cape made of lobbyist checks and PAC contributions.
Thanks to this superpower, bold reforms like negotiating drug prices or expanding Medicare-for-all often hit a wall thicker than a hospital bill, even when most Americans are cheering from the sidelines.

Toadie that forgot that he voted to gut the funding for rural healthcare services

He didn’t forget.

As a rural healthcare provider in your district. I have no words for how ridiculous you are. You do everything in your power to remove the ability of people to pay for healthcare putting my job at risk and other people‘s lives at risk. I cannot wait to vote you out.

Hey Mark! Your pants are on fire again.

If the president is calling for the execution of lawmakers he should be removed from office immediately

When you voted for the BBB you told us how invested you are in rural health.
You voted to gut funding.
Your rural constituents are aware you are not working in our best interests.

So you’re celebrating by closing rural hospitals? 🤦🖕

Say goodbye, rural folks.

Your voting record says otherwise

Only rural millionaire health

Because you visiting hospitals after voting to cut their funding by millions of dollars does nothing but photo ops.

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo].

And here you voted to disembowel the programs that aid in rural medical facilities…you’ll make more sense if you only talk out one side of your face, scumbag.

As a 40 year rep in rural healthcare, you are the worse one to be posting about how you are helping!
I hope you are voted out, along with the top down mess we have!
Please resign now and save yourself a huge embarrassment in the thrashing you see coming.

hush, little bootlicker

Idiot.

We’re laughing at you Alford

The money you are “giving” is much less than what you took away to put in the pockets of the 1%. Its despicable of you to keep touting this. Is this an example of the GOP healthcare plan you are working so hard on?

Quiet piggy

Ouch.

Right now, you and the rest of the Republicans are waaaay on the wrong side of history.

Congressman you voted against Rural Healthcare. Don’t be a hypocrite. We are smarter than you think.
By the way why did you give Argentina $40 BILLION? That’s not America First.

Hey Congressman Mark Alford you want to turn the temperature down. Tell that orange motherfucker in the White House to stop making death threats. If you want to make this normal, what happens when a Democrat majority is elected. You best put a check on that asshole

Except you voted for a bill that causes rural hospitals to close. You’re a joke

We know this is a fucking lie Congressman Mark Alford. When the government shut down, you went home on vacation for 6 weeks. You toured manufacturing facilities for photo ops. You didn’t go to hospitals in the 4th district. If you had you would have made sure to make photo ops of the visits. You never pass up an opportunity for a photo opportunity. Yet, we never saw any pictures of you at hospitals. We are not as dumb as your midget ass looks.

Same bullshit, different day from Markey McHypocrite.

You still have a leftover tan from your seven week vacation!!!! You didn’t work!
AND, WHAT ABOUT OUR HEALTHCARE TAX CREDITS???
ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!

LIAR

Trump has illegally murdered over 80 people from South American countries. Trump doesn’t give one rat’s ass about anyone living in a rural area.

Pull your head out of trumps ass

Did the orange pedo tell you to post this? Asking for a friend.

You voted for Medicaid cuts. Spare me your fake concern.

Is that why you voted for the healthcare cuts in your BBB this past summer, before your extended vacation? Quit with the lying Republican propaganda…no one is buying it.

Don’t you ever get tired of lying? What kind of person are you? Not the kind I want to represent me. I sure hope that the gerrymandering petition and upcoming election keeps me in the 5th district and not in yours!

We got notice that Healthcare for One adult went from $790.00 per month to 1750.00 per month. No changes in health, no changes in deductible. Increases for in network office visits and higher deductible for prescriptions. Thanks little scamper alford. You voted for this in your “big beautiful bill.”
That doesn’t include changes in Medicare and supplements, for another adult in our home, haven’t got that part finalized yet.
Can’t wait for the rest of your Constituents to get their final adjustments on Healthcare. You may need to swap your lift boots out for some running shoes.

Trump is making death threats against Democrats who have told the military not to follow orders that go against the constitution.
And you and your MAGA friends once again stay silent

Liar liar. The bBB cut Medicaid /Medicare funding

You are so embarrassing

Too bad you voted to get rid of rural healthcare centers. Asshole.

No one is falling for your shit.

Alford’s daily lies are easily disputed. The Medicaid cuts he and the Felon’s other MAGA Morons voted for have put these Missouri hospitals at risk for closing:
Bothwell Regional Health Center in Sedalia;
Scotland County Memorial Hospital in Memphis;
Parkland Health Center in Bonne Terre;
Lafayette Regional Health Center in Lexington.

Trump calls for democratic lawmakers to be punished by DEATH this morning. What are the consequences for this extremely dangerous talk? What if his comments were directed at you?

Republicans are worse than Spam calls. Always trying to CON the citizens with bull 💩

They’re not buying it.

They seem upset.

GOVERNOR PARSON SIGNS PROCLAMATION TO END ELECTIVE ABORTIONS IN MISSOURI IN RESPONSE TO U.S. SUPREME COURT DECISION

JEFFERSON CITY — Today, in response to the United States Supreme Court’s ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, Governor Mike Parson signed a proclamation giving legal effect to Section 188.017 RSMo and activating the “Right to Life of the Unborn Child Act.”

“Nothing in the text, history, or tradition of the United States Constitution gave un-elected federal judges authority to regulate abortion. We are happy that the U.S. Supreme Court has corrected this error and returned power to the people and the states to make these decisions,” Governor Parson said.

“With Roe v. Wade overturned and statutory triggers provided in HB 126, we are issuing this proclamation to restore our state authority to regulate abortion and protect life. Thanks to decades of conservative leaders, Missouri has become one of the most pro-life states in the nation, and our Administration has always fought for the life of every unborn child. Today, our efforts have produced what generations of Missourians have worked and prayed for: Today, we have won our fight to protect innocent life,” Governor Parson continued.

Governor Parson’s proclamation notifies the Missouri Revisor of Statutes of the effective date of Section 188.017 RSMo.

Section 188.017, or the “Right to Life of the Unborn Child Act,” includes several provisions:

Prohibits doctors from performing abortions unless there is a medical emergency;

Creates criminal liability for any person who knowingly performs or induces a non-medical emergency abortion and subjects his or her professional license to suspension; and

Protects any woman who receives an illegal abortion from being prosecuted in violation of the Act.

The “Right to Life of the Unborn Child Act” was included in HB 126 and contingent upon the U.S. Supreme Court overruling Roe v. Wade in whole or in part. Governor Parson signed HB 126 in 2019.

Yesterday in southwestern Missouri:

Steve Edwards @SDECoxHealth
Hospitals have required employee vaccination for decades. A patient should expect not to be exposed to a deadly disease while in the hospital.

At our final deadline, 64 out of 12,500 employees, 0.51%, chose not to comply with our policy and were discharged.

We are safer now.
9:52 AM · Nov 23, 2021

Just a few of the comments:

Retired nurse here. Employers during my entire career required annual TB test, Hepatitis B titers & if it was low, boosters, childhood immunizations. Was tested for HIV, had mandatory physicals, etc. Would never want to be endanger my patients.

As a nurse I’ve taken multiple required vaccines or had blood titers drawn to prove immunity as a condition for employment. I’ve always known that goes with the territory, protects me, my patients, and my coworkers. And decreases sick time. Why the protests now?

Thank you for doing the right thing by your employees and your patients. Mandatory vaccination is not a new concept in healthcare. I have had vaccinations, titers, repeat vaccinations, more titers, and I never took it personally. Or politically. It’s a job requirement. Period.

Get vaccinated. If it’s time, get boosted.

And while you’re at it, wear a damn mask.

Chutzpah.

Governor Mike Parson (r) [2018 file photo].

Yesterday:

Governor Mike Parson @GovParsonMO
I want ALL Missourians to know that if you are sick, we will take care of you.
9:17 AM · Dec 8, 2020

Some of the responses:

What are YOU doing to take care of ALL Missourians? Have you implemented Medicaid expansion? Have you prevented rural hospitals from closing? Have you slowed down COVID transmission?

I’d much rather know that you will help prevent me from getting sick. You know… be preventative with masks instead of reactionary with ICU beds. Crazy talk, eh?

Nurses willl take care of you. This man won’t. Blame him when you can’t find a nurse to be at your bedside.

As my husband gets ready to go to work in the hospital today I want you to know that you are a disgrace to the office of Governor of Missouri. We are drowning out here and you claim to be saving us. Gtfoh.

Remember when you wouldn’t support expanding Medicaid? I’ll wait

Ummmmm….actually not so much.

How did you feel after touring Covid units at hospitals in Missouri? Oh wait, that hasn’t happened yet.

‘Republicans campaigned hard against [medicaid] expansion, with Parson among the most outspoken in opposition.’

Have a statewide mask mandate and watch those numbers go down. Look at Australia, NZ and Taiwan. They’re about back to normal. This is a Failure!

Japan has 20 times Missouri’s population, but has 50% less Covid deaths. They wear masks and their leaders don’t downplay the virus.

… but we won’t do anything to stop you from getting sick.

fixed it for you.

you’re welcome.

So far away from the reality of normal people, he thinks you can just get medical care without coverage, and doesn’t understand what “medical bankruptcy” is. Prevention, not an option in his world, either.

You heard it here people, just send your medical bills to Gov. Parson. He’s going to take care of it. /s

With all due respect, this is a misleading tweet. We need staff to run those vents and take care of those beds. I work for a busy Level 1 Trauma Center and personally haven’t accepted an ICU patient in weeks. Missourians are going to Iowa, Illinois, South Dakota, etc for care.

“We’ll take care of you”

But only once we actively make ensure that every citizen of Missouri contracts COVID by refusing to do any preventative measures in order to serve our Wall Street donors and sociopathic political ideology.

Can you please also focus on PREVENTING us from getting sick? It is no comfort that help only starts if I get covid. I would prefer to be in a place that prioritizes prevention over emergency medical care.

When is Medicaid expansion going into effect?
A lot of us lost a job this year and find ourselves in the hole where we can’t get Medicaid AND we can’t get any subsidies on the marketplace to afford insurance, so we’re totally screwed.

.. go on… ? Explain how you are actually doing this. Rural & urban areas are overwhelmed this week. Use that CARES money to help suffering people.

Covid is a complete disaster for the rural Midwest and was largely due to your political pandering and inaction. This message is a false promise and we still have no actionable strategies or plans in place. What should we do? Really, make a call.

What if instead you, I don’t know, implemented a mandate that would, just maybe, keep more people safe….so you didn’t HAVE to take care of us. Because what you are saying is not what the healthcare professionals are saying.

That’s a lie. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Remember that oldie but goodie, Mike? This statement is some of your worst lip service yet! MANDATE MASKS like the healthcare workers of this state have been begging you to.

It’s almost as if we’ve mismanaged our way into Medicare for All.

But, as the Post Dispatch reports you continue , and only God knows why, to ignore state wide mitigation efforts, thereby contributing to the continuing spread of Covid in Missouri. This is unbelievable incompetence and dereliction of duty Sir.

Sadly, Missouri elected the Governor it deserves.

Except the seniors who are being held as prisoners and away from their family because of your negligence and incompetence. You will be older one day Governor but as a Christian I will not want the same to be done to you for what you have allowed to be done to them.

Here’s a CRAZY idea, do more to KEEP PEOPLE FROM GETTING SICK with a mask mandate. And I wonder how many people will get sick from your Governor’s Mansion open house? It’s great that you open it to the people of Missouri at Christmas but NOT DURING A PANDEMIC IN A RED COUNTY!

How about putting a plan in place so that people aren’t as likely to get sick and have to go to the hospital. Maybe be proactive instead of reactive when dealing with a deadly pandemic.

How about covering us before we get sick?

That’s great, but when are you going to address the lack of rural hospitals or your lack of action throughout most of the pandemic or even not implementing Medicaid expansion? Words are meaningless without action, Mr. Governor.

Notice he doesn’t reassure that we have enough properly trained critical care physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists.

So you’re going to be volunteering next to nurses in COVID wards to make sure everyone is taken care of?

Oh god, I think I’d rather take my chances w understaffed, overworked nurses than gov heehaw. Thanks for the nightmares

Is that why you fought Medicaid expansion? Here’s a novel idea, why don’t you do something that might PREVENT us from getting sick? LIKE A MASK MANDATE

You kicked thousands of kids off Medicaid.

Oh, that’s a relief. What’s the address of the governor’s mansion for forwarding of ginormous medical bills?

You covering medical expenses too?

Given the republican parties response to Covid19 “take care of you” sounds like a threat.

This tweet is like me telling my kids its OK to play with broken glass because we’ve got plenty of bandaids.

Governor, thank you for not giving in to the pearl clutchers and forcing face diapers on us.

Science!

So where do I send my medical bills?🖒

Fact check: this is false.

You need a better stand up routine.

Take care of Missourians how? Free body bag?

By closing rural hospitals?

All?! That sounds pretty… universal.

Is this a joke? Missouri’s handling of COVID has been an embarrassing disaster.

I mean, YOU aren’t taking care of anyone

Making this post takes nerve I’ve never seen before.

Chutzpah.

Then act like it.

And on and on.

Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
For our community, access to care isn’t just a talking point – it’s a matter of life or death. Last week, I continued my fight for rural healthcare and met with Director Carroll of the @ONDCP and @GovParsonMO for a roundtable in Cape Girardeau.
[….]
9:49 AM · Feb 24, 2020

Hypocrisy, they think it’s a good look.

The replies, as always, are priceless:

You have devoted your entire career, both in the Missouri General Assembly and in the Congress, to blocking healthcare for working people in your District. Besides the health effects, your actions have resulted in closed hospitals in your District.

you’ve been active in preventing access.

You want to protect folks with pre-existing conditions — but at a higher price for them. Currently the ACA which you oppose makes it illegal to consider pre-existing conditions in pricing. So you want to repeal the ACA to change that? Why? Keep your filthy hands off the ACA.

How about helping Missouri expand Medicaid to save rural hospitals. It was Gingrich’s and Heritage’s plan. Time to stop being stupid because of Obama. He’s done. You can try thinking with you own brain now. 36 states accept our federal expanded Medicaid dollars. And Gov. Pence.

You voted to kill my insurance.
#shuttheFupyouliar

Yes Jason, it can be life or death, but your voting record tells a different story than this talking point.

Oh please. You voted to take away healthcare from Missourians

Um… @RepJasonSmith voted against ACA – the exact opposite of which you are telling people today. What’s up with that?

Medicaid expansion would automatically cover 200,000 more Missouri residents and save us $100 million! The feds cover 90% of the cost. [….]

At this point you’re just punking us.

Getting scared, bro? Remember when you celebrated voting to repeal the ACA with no replacement? Yeah, I do. Y’all brought beer in to celebrate. You’ve been fighting to TAKE AWAY healthcare, you lying PoS.

GOP Aims To Kill Obamacare Yet Again After Failing 70 Times (July 29, 2017)

It didn’t happen. It was all about repeal anyway.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2018 file photo].

This afternoon, from Representative Vicky Hartzler (r):

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Our healthcare system is failing. High premiums force many to forgo insurance; sky-high deductibles mean they can’t afford to use it.

I look forward to working with @HouseGOP on a plan to protect those with pre-existing conditions and give Americans more control over healthcare.
2:59 PM · Oct 15, 2019

Yeah, right.

Medicare for all would work great.

Some of the responses:

I dunno. Ever think about something like the Affordable Care Act?

GOP had control for 2 years and came up with nothing.

Rich coming from someone who tried her damndest to eliminate health care coverage for millions of Americans.
#Hypocrite

How? You had full control for two years and the only thing you tried to do with healthcare was take it away!

Yep.

JUST STOP LYING!!! The @GOP wants to gut healthcare and you know it!!! Do your job stand up for us and against the criminal in the Oval. Hawley barely won you and @RoyBlunt have an up hill climb after you crapped on the small family owned farms. Get to work and impeach him!!!

Nah, she’s all in.

Why don’t you/they already have one. Trump PROMISED during his 2016 campaign that he had the BEST plan, with better coverage and lower premiums than the ACA.

Ask him to show you THAT great plan!

(Or was that a false promise, just like yours . . . . )

They were never going to create one, they were just going to take the one people had away.

So I guess that TWELVE YEARS you and your @GOP handlers said you were working hard on a superior replacement for the ACA was a lie?

Give or take a few. Actually, around eight years for Representative Hartzler (r).

Pelosi’s one-size-fits-all approach to tackle prescription drug prices doesn’t address the root causes. Her drug price plan is filled with socialist price controls that stifles research and innovation.

This isn’t right. We can do better. We have to work together.
10:23 AM · Sep 20, 2019

Ah, socialism, the current right wingnut republican buzzword.

“…Her drug price plan is filled with socialist price controls that stifles research and innovation…”

NIH funding contributed to 210 approved drugs in recent years, study says

Or did Representative Hartzler (r) really mean “stifles exorbitant profits and CEO compensation”?

Meanwhile, there was much hilarity in some of the comments to Representative Hartzler’s (r) Pharma Tweet:

Girl, you’ve taken $1.1M+ in farm subsidies.

Tell me about how you hate socialized programs again.

So Hartzler loves socialism…as long as she’s getting the benefits personally. Screw poor, sick, and hungry kids, though, eh?

Wrong, her [Pelosi] drug price plan protects the American consumers!!!
#UnAmerican #CorruptGOP

You aren’t trying. You aren’t working together. She could come out tomorrow and support a GOP plan and you’d still call it socialist. Piss off. This is 100% fixable and your fault for doing nothing.

Granting @HHSGov limited authority to negotiate prices on 250 *branded* prescription drugs that lack generic or biosimilar competitors & represent the greatest cost to Medicare, with a cap at 120% of market price in 6 other countries…Is “Socialism”?

Republicans haven’t done sh*t except try to take healthcare AWAY.
Your prez is trying to repeal what little we have left. Who believes anything republicans say anymore?

Hey the GOP has done absolutely nothing yet, so I’m sure after this really informed tweet you will get right back to doing nothing!

Republicans had the majority in the House for 10 years, and the only thing that happened were attempts to repeal the ACA 60 some odd times. Discuss actual policy specifics and details on alternatives, and we can talk.

You do not seem to be representing anyone but the GOP brand, GOP buzz words and your own self interests. Healthcare, insurance and prescription drug costs are unaffordable for your constituents. Not for you or Congress though. How about a Town Hall on the topic?

Open public town hall? Not gonna happen.

Good grief; is there anybody out there who buys this garbage rhetoric? Capitalism is not doing sick people any favors. Time to try something new.

Tweet out your plan that’s better in detail. I will be waiting.

We see what you did there. Tweet/detail.

It seems like the new buzz word for the republicans is “socialist”

Hey, we already said that…

Big Pharma has been paying the GOP for years to not allow Medicare to negotiate prices. I remember watching debate on the House floor in 2003 when the Medicare reform bill was passed. The Democrats wanted to include limits to rising Rx prices. The GOP would not allow it.

#socialist says what?

You mean greed, right!

You can do better? You have done NOTHING for YEARS!!!

So what is your plan because this is a serious issue and it seems like Pelosi actually wants to deal with it?

Socialist farm subsidies and bailout money is good but socialist approaches to help people get affordable prescription drugs are bad. You’re a bigly hypocrite!

You mean socialist, like the massive farm subsidies you collect?

Republicans only criticize but NEVER come up with feasible ideas for healthcare & drug costs! You are not helping the matter. If u have criticism then u better come back with a viable solution. Ur the problem!

What is your plan Vicky? That’s right, more of the same, the GOP plan of working Americans getting screwed to make the rich even richer.

Socialist? You clearly don’t understand the meaning of the word. I am beginning to doubt your abilities.

Nice cut and paste Vicky. Follow the line and deflect.
