What's Going To Happen To Rural Hospitals Now? w/ Prof. Michael Shepherd
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
With the government still shut down and the Speaker of the House indicating they're willing to wait it out for the long haul, the Nov. 1 expiration date on affordable healthcare through tax credits for millions is coming quickly.
Grant is joined by University of Michigan Assistant Professor Michael Shepherd, who studies rural health care and how it meets politics and race. They explore what it means for rural hospitals that are already strapped for cash and facing closures, what happens to rural communities that depend on medical jobs for their economies, and, most importantly, if these tax credits end, will more Americans die?
