This week’s episode of KRCU’s Going Public Missouri is transferring more low-income Medicaid patients onto privately-run plans. Legislators say the move saves money, but critics argue that managed care is bad for patients.Coming up we’ll hear what those changes mean. Then Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill says rural hospital officials fear repeal to the Affordable Care Act could put their institutions, already in financial straits, in deeper trouble. And later on in the show, KRCU’s General Manager Dan Woods speaks with Southeast President Dr. Carlos Vargas about some of the upcoming changes to the commencement ceremony at the university.
