SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has proposed a plan to reform Medicaid reimbursement, which he claims will generate $700 million for hospitals in the state. The plan includes two initiatives: the Mississippi Hospital Access Program and supplementary Medicaid-based payment rates for hospitals. Reeves believes this will greatly benefit the state's healthcare system. However, Democrats, including his opponent Brandon Presley Reeves, argue that this is not enough and the state needs a true Medicaid expansion. The proposals will need approval from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and, if approved, would go into effect on July 1st.
