About this episode
The episode discusses the Rural Health Transformation Program in Mississippi and features an interview with Sen. Hob Bryan.
The Rural Health Transformation Program will bring more than $200 million to Mississippi in 2026, and as much as $1 billion over five years. But how will this money be used, and who will make the decisions? @ISSUE reports on the joint Senate-House hearing held last week. Host Wilson Stribling interviews Sen. Hob Bryan (D-Amory), chairman of the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee. Then, analysts Rebekah Staples and Brandon Jones join Wilson to discuss the launch of the new federal program. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
