Question: Rural hospitals
SUMMARY: In this content, the issue of rural hospitals in Mississippi is discussed. Nearly half of Mississippi’s rural hospitals are at risk of closing, and the candidates are asked about their plans to address this crisis. Commissioner Presley argues that expanding Medicaid is the solution, claiming that it has support from a majority of Republicans and Mississippians. He criticizes opponent Tate Reeves for proposing a scheme that taxes hospitals without providing enough support. Reeves argues that expanding Medicaid is not the best policy and cites examples from Louisiana and Arkansas where rural hospitals are also at risk despite Medicaid expansion. He claims that expanding Medicaid would move individuals off of private insurance and lead to lower reimbursement rates for hospitals. The candidates engage in a back-and-forth exchange, with Presley citing examples from other states where Medicaid expansion has been successful and Reeves emphasizing that he wants to be governor of Mississippi and not focus on other states. The content ends with a mention of President Donald Trump endorsing Reeves for governor.
