What's Going To Happen To Rural Hospitals Now? w/ Prof. Michael Shepherd

from Make It Make Sense with Grant Hermes · host Grant Hermes

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?LINKS: Michael Shepherd at UMichPROMO CODE:Today's episode is sponsored by Distil UnionGet 20% your entire order with the code: MIMS25DISTILUNION.COMSupport the showFollow along on social media SaySo: @GrantHermes X: @GrantHermesInsta: @Grant__HermesTiktok: Grant_Hermes
