MU Health Care is the second-largest employer in Columbia/Boone County, according to 2025 statistics from Columbia Regional Economic Development Incorporated (REDI). MU Health Care chief executive officer Ric Ransom and chief medical officer Ambulatory care Dr. Laura Morris joined Fred Parry in-studio for the hour Saturday on 939 the Eagle's “CEO Roundtable”. Mr. Ransom says MU Health Care has about 8,300 employees, along with another 1,000 physicians. Ransom says in net patient service revenue was about $2.5 billion in 2025. MU Health Care supports legislation that would allow the UM Curators and MU Health Care to acquire, purchase, manage or sell hospitals/medical facilities in 25 counties. Ransom explained why that's important during the interview. “As we look at other hospitals in that 25-county area that are struggling and interested in partnering or maybe becoming part of the health care system, more growth brings with it the risk that there would be an antitrust objection or hurdle to partnering or acquiring another hospital,” he tells listeners. There is opposition to that bill from veteran State Rep. Kent Haden (R-Mexico), who would rather MU Health Care reopen closed hospitals in Mexico, Fulton and Boonville. Ransom also tells listeners that Columbia's Keene Street medical center, formerly Columbia Regional Hospital, will be more and more an ambulatory and specialty care lab. Dr. Morris, who is also a family practice physician in Fulton, discussed the importance of providing health care in Callaway County. She grew up in mid-Missouri's Holts Summit and also emphasizes the importance of good internet in rural Missouri. She praises Callabyte Technology and the internet they provide in Callaway County for telemedicine and other uses:

How can DCS be reformed? State Representative Walter Blackman joins to give ideas.

When a state's budget grows 65% in seven years while families feel poorer, something isn't adding up. That's the story unfolding in Maine politics right now. Government spending has surged, taxes remain high, and yet affordability continues to erode. In Episode 188 of the Let People Prosper Show, we dig into what's happening—and what could change.I recently spoke with Maine State Rep. Laurel Libby, a small-business owner, mother of five, and one of the most outspoken reform voices in Augusta. She didn't enter politics for prestige. She stepped in because she saw Maine drifting away from transparency, fiscal responsibility, and accountability.If you care about government spending, education, healthcare, taxation, and economic growth, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

Clay kicks off with a no-holds-barred parental advisory on what you're actually allowed to say online versus what gets you canceled — zero filter on the trans agenda, bathrooms, drag queen story time, and the rainbow supremacy machine. He draws the line clearly: live and let live with adults who mind their business, but the weirdos making hit lists get called out.   Then it's full Mississippi mode: the Smith Wills Stadium saga finally heats up as State Rep. Trey Lamar yanks the lease and property back from Jackson after years of alleged parking-lot hustles, cigar-bar weed clouds during kids' tournaments, and hundreds of thousands in questionable sublease cash. Kingfish Jackson Jambalaya joins for the deep dive — court fights, Lynn Fitch's office dragging its feet, a camper hooked to the stadium power, and why this worn-out landfill facility's glory days are over.   Clay unloads on the unproductive legislative session, the school-choice ram job that burned bridges, primary threats, think-tank hit pieces (including the infamous gay-porn-star mailer), and why stopping a bad bill is sometimes the most productive thing lawmakers can do. He positions himself as the voice of the silent majority and normies in Rankin and Madison counties who just want to be left alone.   Plus: the horrifying Facebook Marketplace murder in Memphis (dad and daughter killed over a PlayStation), the Arkansas dad who took justice into his own hands and just won a sheriff primary, skyrocketing concert ticket prices (Jason Aldean pit seats for $757 anyone?), Trans-Siberian Orchestra lore, and why Republicans suddenly freeze up the second they actually control the levers of power.

In this “Kim on a Whim” segment, Marc and Kim tackle Missouri's troubling teen driver statistics, citing crash data and the state's high fatality ranking while debating a proposal from State Rep. Roger Reedy to reintroduce voluntary, state-supported driver's education courses in schools. They swap personal stories about learning on stick shifts, insurance rate spikes, and the chaos of distracted driving, arguing that structured classroom and behind-the-wheel training could improve safety habits that stick for life. The conversation expands into the realities of modern teen driving—from cell phone use to aggressive highway behavior—while questioning whether “free” programs truly come without a cost and whether schools will actually adopt them if the bill passes.

Legislation that would allow the UM Board of Curators to acquire, manage, purchase or sell hospitals and medical facilities in 25 counties is getting skepticism from a veteran mid-Missouri lawmaker. State Rep. Kent Haden (R-Mexico) is a longtime Mizzou supporter and still is. He wanted Columbia-based MU Health Care to reopen closed hospitals in Fulton, Mexico and Boonville and wonders if they are eyeing rural hospitals in Moberly, Macon and Marshall. He says the key term is non-competitive. Rep. Haden does tell listeners that he appreciates MU Health Care opening urgent cares in Mexico and Fulton. He outlined House Bill 3170:

They tackle the ongoing liquor distribution crisis, including warehouse backlogs, delivery delays, and calls from local stores like Spillway Wine and Spirits for a state of emergency to resolve it—potentially deploying creative solutions like extra manpower to clear orders and stem massive tax revenue losses.
