Trump's Big Beautiful Bill Pummels Mississippi Hospitals

Hospitals in Mississippi -- already strained under the costs of caring for a high rate of patients without health insurance and with low-reimbursement plans, such as Medicaid -- are expected to lose $1 billion over the course of the next decade as a result of President Donald Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill signed into law in July.

Too much is at stake in Mississippi right now with rising costs, struggling hospitals, and underpaid teachers. It's time for a new senator who will show up and fight for what matters most #MississippiMatters

Guess this is what happens to states that deliver MAGAJesus a measly 60.8% of the vote. This'll learn you. MAGAJesus wants more, and when He has it all it still won't be enough. Oh, well, even though this is what you MAGAts have been yearning and burning for, it's still ... not ... enough for MAGAJesus, praise be His name.

$1 Trillion in permanent tax cuts direct primarily at the top 10% paid for by $1 Trillion in health care spending cuts directly 100% at the bottom 90% of taxpayers.

And I guarantee you they will cry and bitch about the loss of their health care, but will still vote solid red.

I'd say "you get what you voted for," but unfortunately there are people in Mississippi who didn't vote for this who are still going to be hurt by it.

Mr. Big Shot rich guy in a rural county enjoys his tax cut until the night he has a heart attack and the nearest emergency room is 100 miles away. The ambulance service went broke too and the only helipad was at the hospital but is now a trailer park.

Old "centrist policies" DJT is sure enough taking a radical dump on the people he claims to care about.

Mississippi Delta farmers are facing a severe financial crisis in early 2026, driven by a "perfect storm" of rising operating costs and retaliatory tariffs. The combination of surging fertilizer/fuel prices due to the war with Iran and ongoing trade disputes has left many farmers facing consecutive years without significant profit, with some warning of potential bankruptcy and an inability to continue operations.

"This'll learn you."

One of the most important reasons for SNAP benefits is that malnutrition is a major factor in children's inability to learn properly. Hunger is part of the cycle of poverty.
