Wonder if part of the purpose of the hospital ship is to cost shift some the state’s Medicaid burden to the federal taxpayer...

Mississippi only pays about 23.5% of its cost of Medicaid as it is. The other 76.5% is picked up by the Federal government already.

Wanna bet MS would like to pay even less?

Here’re two more questions....

NYS counts asymptomatics, probables, and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases.

Does MS?

NYS doesn’t break down hospitalization stats for in WITH CoupFlu and in FOR CoupFlu.

Does MS?

Inquiring minds want to know.
