Wow! Please pay attention. Hospitals are keystone players for health and economic activity in our communities

“The hospital is so large that if it were to close, we’d have to have seven Toyota-sized manufacturing plants to replace the economic value and salaries (of the hospital), which means it would never happen in our lifetime. Values of homes would drop 15% overnight.”

Federal funds sent to Mississippi if leaders expand Medicaid: •$1.61B year one •$1.64B year two •$1.36B year three •$1.38B year four Plus: 200k+ poor workers covered, hospitals saved, average 11,300 new jobs created per year over five-year period. mississippitoday.org/2022/11/15/med…
A Kaiser Family Foundation report notes there have been more than 400 studies on Medicaid nationwide. A majority of studies conducted about Medicaid expansion in Mississippi project net positive benefits economically, health-wise or both. buff.ly/3DXGOfh
“These are very legitimate questions of whether or not this money is really going to end up doing anything.” BP oil spill funds in Mississippi haven’t created many jobs. @CAnitaLee1 @sunherald propublica.org/article/gulf-c…
$1.8 billion in federal funds gets sent to Mississippi lawmakers. They appropriate less than 2% to Jackson for water/sewer fixes we estimate would cost $1.7 billion. Here's a thread on Jackson's water crisis that some elected officials still aren't taking seriously. /1

Apropos of... well, a lot: I talked in 2017 to several Republican lawmakers in Kansas who voted to eliminate their state's income tax. After their economy suffered, they all but begged Mississippi not to do the same. "Use us as a cautionary tale..." mississippitoday.org/2017/07/05/kan…
This isn't surprising, as Mississippi has a long tradition of complaining that civil rights measures represented a "federal take-over" of local affairs. Here's a Jackson Clarion-Ledger editorial backing the election of Democratic segregationist Paul Johnson (Aug 2 1963)

Just some factual context: Hospitals have been begging Gov. Reeves for CARES Act money bonuses to help keep nurses and other health care workers from leaving the state at alarming numbers. Reeves has been mostly silent on the request. (@MSTODAYnews stories below)

More than 5% of MS’s population will be in a football stadium today. No other state can match that.

Think teacher salaries in Mississippi are low? Try deducting taxes, retirement contributions, and insurance premiums. According to new data from @srebeducation the average FIFTEEN YEAR VETERAN is taking home just $28k a year
In other words, it’s Neshoba?

How many times have we heard MS’s leaders say they don’t have the money to (fix roads/fund schools/expand healthcare)? Well, now they have the money, but things still aren’t getting done. mississippitoday.org/2021/09/20/mis…
Today the state has surpassed all previous highs in Mississippians hospitalized for COVID-19. Hospitals are operating at emergency capacity to cope with the incoming flood of COVID-19 patients. Of the nearly 1,500 now in a hospital for COVID-19, more than 1,300 are unvaccinated.
Unvaccinated Mississippians are 40x more likely to be hospitalized and 28x more likely to die than the vaccinated -- which actually understates the disparity since the vaxxed population skews much older than the unvaxxed. Please, please get your shots. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
There were ZERO available ICU beds in Mississippi as of early this morning. None. That means hospitals across the state may not be able to provide the level of care needed to you or your loved one. Not just for COVID-19 but FOR ANY EMERGENCY CARE.
Today's 3-day total of new reported #COVID19 cases sends Mississippi's 7-day average to 1,673. Look at how much faster that average has climbed in this surge compared to last summer. Our test positivity rate is now 19%, based on new weekly test numbers released today. #wlbt

Mississippians, I really encourage you to look into what this would mean for our state and for you, personally. There are no shortage of articles, editorials and think pieces available.
“We are going to eliminate the income tax in #Mississippi,” Republican Gov. Tate Reeves tells reporters as legislators are still sparring over the issue. #msgov #msleg
Sounds like @shadwhite should read @savgsmith’s undergrad thesis on why MS’s best and brightest continue to leave the state 👀 thedmonline.com/brain-drain-ev… (cc: @RethinkMS @isthatbritt @TheTJJohnson_)
You’ve probably heard the term brain drain. But now, some of the state’s elected officials are trying to combat the problem. wlbt.com/2022/03/19/mul…
Mississippi is a beautiful place populated by a lot of hard working people. Unfortunately, we are often represented by people who are not qualified to operate the Tilt-A-Whirl at the county fair.
Of course, there are some Democratic lawmakers who think it's crazy the state is slashing taxes when our capital city's water system is nearly poisonous, our state parks are in shambles, our roads are crumbling and we have wide health disparities.
40% of Mississippi state budget comes from federal government. 40%. It has been this way for decades. If you’re actually serious about spending @tatereeves & not just typing what a consultant told you to, stop taking federal dollars. It’s easy.
Endless spending has lowered the value of our dollars and made it that much harder for Americans to get the needed essentials. Our families work hard to balance our checkbooks, yet the federal government recklessly uses a credit card with our names on it. nypost.com/2022/03/10/inf…

Sen. Wicker says whomever Biden’s SCOTUS nominee is, will be a “beneficiary” of affirmative action. How much has good ol’ boy, Roger benefited from by being born a white man in South? ANY successful WOC has had to work harder, longer & put-up w/shit like this her whole life.
NEW: The first Black woman to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court will be a "beneficiary" of affirmative action and she will "probably not get a single Republican vote," U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Mississippi, said today. mississippifreepress.org/20244/wicker-b…
