STATEMENT OF
COMMISSIONER MIGNON L. CLYBURN
Re: Rural Health Care Support Mechanism, WC Docket No. 02-60
The bridge funding provided for in this Order will maintain much-needed support for 
qualifying Pilot Program participants during the 2012 funding year while we continue our work 
on the pending rural health care reform. Without it, sites that are integral to providing quality 
health care to rural America would have gone down. 
As we expeditiously move forward, it is important that we focus on rural health care 
reform and ensure that all consumers, regardless of their location, have access to high quality 
broadband and the technological capabilities of an advanced and inclusive society. I look forward 
to working with the Chairman and my fellow Commissioners to complete this proceeding prior to 
the end of this year.
