Hospital owner: federal agency may reject governor’s proposal if Medicaid is not expanded
SUMMARY: Mississippi faces a healthcare crisis that Governor Tate Reeves aims to address with “sweeping Medicaid reimbursement reforms,” estimated to inject $689 million into the state’s hospitals. However, hospital owner Quentin Whitwell warns the plan may fail without full Medicaid expansion, as federal approval is uncertain. Whitwell stresses the need for more support, particularly for rural hospitals at risk of closing. Mississippi remains one of ten states not having expanded Medicaid, which could bring over $1 billion in federal funds at a cost of about $100 million. Lawmakers are urged to reconsider Medicaid expansion, with new discussions sparked in the legislature.
