I hate to ask, but since I know you are pretty knowledgeable in this area... gotta link to that?
I would hope that by now it's common knowledge that the GOP budget slashes funding for Medicaid and Medicare. Where does more than half of the money supporting public hospitals come from? See pages 15-16 of the NAPH member survey for the answer.
It should also be common knowledge that Obamacare also slashes spending for both of those programs while expanding the eligibility for Medicaid. The only reason any of that money actually goes to public hospitals is that those hospitals treat patients that receive money from those programs. Since both Obamacare and Ryancare both propose equal spending cuts, which program is actually trying to eliminate county hospitals?
