CMS approves governor’s plan to provide $600 million to Mississippi hospitals
SUMMARY: The CMS has approved a major part of Governor Tate Reeves’ plan to allocate nearly $700 million to Mississippi hospitals, despite initial concerns that it might require Medicaid expansion. The Mississippi Hospital Access Program (MHAP) will ensure hospitals are reimbursed close to the commercial rate for treating Medicaid patients in the managed care system. The initiative is expected to provide about $600 million with an additional $89 million pending approval. Governor Reeves praised the collaboration with healthcare professionals that led to the plan’s formulation. MDOM is set to distribute the first payments imminently, retroactive to July 1.

Man paroled after killing father, stepmother deceased in Rankin County crash
SUMMARY: James Williams III, a Mississippi man who served nearly two decades for the 2002 murders of his father and stepmother, died in a car crash in Rankin County. The accident on Highway 18 involved Williams’ 2009 Honda Civic and a 2019 GMC Sierra, resulting in his death at the scene. The other vehicle’s occupants, Curtis and Ruth Jones, were hospitalized. Williams, who faced life sentences for the murders, was paroled in 2023 after the U.S. Supreme Court deemed life sentences for minors unconstitutional. He was later reincarcerated for a DUI before his death. Further details about his passing remain unclear.
