Experts say Gov. Tate Reeves’ plan will help hospitals, but not uninsured Mississippians

Gov. Tate Reeves, after months of inaction, has unveiled a plan he says will turn Mississippi’s health care crisis around. However, even some health care experts were stumped by how the Governor’s proposed reforms will work. The plan, which Reeves announced at a press conference Thursday while flanked by state health care leaders, is essentially a complex scheme to increase extra payments hospitals get for treating patients on Medicaid — and notably doesn’t include Medicaid expansion.
