Montgomery Mayores 否决医院支持决议, 要求州和地区在城市供资前做出承诺。 Montgomery Mayor vetoes hospital support resolution, demanding state and regional commitments before city funding.

Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed否决了支持Jackson医院的市议会决议, 援引州法规定医院经费由Montgomery县负责, Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed vetoed a city council resolution supporting Jackson Hospital, citing state law that places responsibility for hospital funding with Montgomery County, not the city. Reed在肯定医院的重要性的同时,坚持分担责任和问责制,要求州和区域合作伙伴在城市参与之前作出书面承诺。 While affirming the hospital’s importance, Reed insists on shared responsibility and accountability, requiring written commitments from state and regional partners before city involvement. 该医院于2月提出破产申请,获得了法院批准的3 500万美元贷款,比2 200万美元增加了2 500万美元,杰克逊投资集团又认捐了1 500万美元,用于在假期期间继续营业。 The hospital, which filed for bankruptcy in February, has secured a $35 million court-approved loan—increased from $22 million—with an additional $15 million pledged by Jackson Investment Group to stay open through the holidays. 由于劳动力成本高、报销率低、2023年超过4 500万美元的无保险病人费用以及阿拉巴马州缺乏医疗援助计划扩展,它面临着持续的财政压力。 It faces ongoing financial strain from high labor costs, low reimbursements, uninsured patient charges exceeding $45 million in 2023, and Alabama’s lack of Medicaid expansion. 县委员会定于10月21日就其贡献进行投票表决。 The county commission is set to vote on its contribution on October 21.
