福克斯新闻独家报道： 佐治亚州一位亿万富翁州长候选人曾宣称“目前没人比我更支持特朗普”，如今却因旗下商业帝国中的一家医疗保健公司批评唐纳德·特朗普总统的《一项宏大美好法案》（OBBBA）而面临质疑。
里克·杰克逊数月来一直试图将自己塑造成本次选举中最支持特朗普的候选人，称自己将成为特朗普“最喜爱的州长”，尽管特朗普已经背书了副州长伯特·琼斯。但他旗下的一家公司却多次批评该法案——这是特朗普去年背书并签署生效的标志性共和党立法提案。
杰克逊医疗旗下的子公司杰克逊医生招聘公司（Jackson Physician Search）2025年9月在其网站上表示，该法案“对医疗补助和《平价医疗法案》项目的大幅削减，引发了人们对医疗可及性、公平性和可持续性的严重担忧”，并警告称，一些医院可能需要“调整业务或关门停业”。
在2026年2月的一份招聘报告中，该公司还称，该法案预计将导致“1000万至1500万人”失去医保，同时医疗保险和医疗补助的削减正在给各医疗组织带来“巨大的财务压力”，并引发了对未来的严重“恐惧和不确定性”。

“里克支持这项宏大美好法案，仅此而已。”杰克逊竞选团队的发言人迈克·施林普夫告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“里克在公共住房区长大，他相信工作的尊严，也正因如此，他大力支持工作要求。他长期反对奥巴马医改，并经常在竞选活动中吹捧特朗普的医保政策，比如‘特朗普医保方案’。这就是为什么里克·杰克逊会成为唐纳德·特朗普最喜爱的州长。”
施林普夫补充道，民主党人“数月来”一直在攻击杰克逊对《一项宏大美好法案》的支持，并称“这种攻击就像指责飞行员讨厌飞行一样毫无道理”。
上个月在佐治亚州托马斯维尔的一场竞选活动中，杰克逊对选民表示，他认为《一项宏大美好法案》有“很多部分”“很棒”，并表示如果该法案未获得通过，他将“多缴纳40%的税款”。他还为法案中的工作要求辩护，称这些要求能够激励人们努力工作，脱离医疗补助计划。
“我们能做的最糟糕的事情，就是告诉人们——让人们依赖政府，这样他们就没有工作的动力了。”杰克逊对选民说道。
“这是你能做出的最不人道的事情。”他继续说道，“上帝创造我们，就是要让我们富有生产力。”

杰克逊还通过赞扬特朗普的关税政策来拉近与特朗普的距离。“我相信公平。”杰克逊在3月说道，“不想让别人在商业交易中占我们的便宜。这正是他正在努力做的事情。所以我支持他。”
据《亚特兰大宪法报》报道，杰克逊称自己的竞选启动活动效仿了特朗普，有一段庆祝性的电梯出场环节，他还表示自己无法说出任何一项他不同意的白宫政策。

然而，尽管杰克逊在竞选活动中发表了上述言论，他的言论与他的医生招聘公司在2月发布的白皮书形成了鲜明反差——该白皮书警告称，《一项宏大美好法案》将带来“严重的恐惧和不确定性”。
“《一项宏大美好法案》预计将导致1000万至1500万人失去医保。”这份白皮书援引该法案实施的新公共医保工作要求称，“医疗保险和医疗补助的削减正在给各医疗组织带来巨大的财务压力。”报告继续写道。
这份包含该公司高级领导层评论以及该招聘公司网站其他内容的报告，还抨击了《一项宏大美好法案》中的H-1B签证条款。该条款旨在整顿据称充斥着欺诈行为的移民项目，而报告认为这将对医疗行业造成净负面影响。

相关材料和资源还指出，《一项宏大美好法案》会加剧医生倦怠，可能迫使乡村医院关门，阻碍有志从医的学生入学，从而加剧本已存在的医生短缺问题，并简要提及了特朗普关税政策对医生招聘的负面影响。
“我的团队与中西部的客户合作，这些客户如果无法雇佣医生或高级执业医师，就将面临科室关闭的局面。证据就是，过去几年里被迫关停的产科病房数量有目共睹。”杰克逊医生招聘公司招聘高级副总裁塔拉·奥塞克说道，“如今，包括《一项宏大美好法案》中的条款以及影响国际签证的新增费用在内的最新政策变化，给本已充满挑战的医生招聘环境增添了新的复杂性。”
“影响是深远的。”奥塞克补充道，“医保覆盖范围减少会导致无补偿医疗服务增加，进一步挤压本就微薄的运营利润。当财务压力加剧时，医疗组织可能会推迟服务扩张、减少招聘计划，或完全冻结招聘。”

作为一项范围广泛的法案，《一项宏大美好法案》包含了联邦学生贷款项目改革，旨在降低教育成本。但杰克逊医生招聘公司招聘区域副总裁唐娅·哈姆林警告称，这些改革实际上会让有志从医的学生更难进入大学。

“这些改革可能会迫使学生通过私人贷款或个人资源来填补差额。”哈姆林在该招聘公司网站的一篇博客文章中写道，“它们还可能让低收入学生重新考虑是否继续学业。”
哈姆林进一步警告称，能够进入医学院的学生越少，医院和诊所面临的医生短缺问题就会越严重。
“尽管面临这些额外障碍，临床医生和受训人员绝不能气馁。”哈姆林鼓励道，“专注于你职业使命的更高目标，同时保持信息灵通、做好财务规划，并持续参与倡导活动。”
佐治亚州州长共和党初选竞争激烈，杰克逊与其他领先候选人，包括琼斯、总检察长克里斯·卡尔和国务卿布拉德·拉芬斯珀格展开角逐。特别是琼斯和杰克逊，一直在争论谁与特朗普的立场更一致。
“本次初选非常简单。”琼斯在其竞选网站上写道，“只有一位真正的保守派曾为特朗普总统而战。”

与此同时，杰克逊在今年2月宣布参选前不到两个月，向特朗普的政治行动委员会“MAGA Inc.”捐赠了100万美元。他还因在2024年共和党初选中向特朗普的前共和党竞选对手开出六位数支票而遭到反对。
据报道，杰克逊还曾投放一则广告，将拉芬斯珀格描绘成圣经人物犹大，试图将其塑造成叛徒，因为拉芬斯珀格曾抵制特朗普挑战佐治亚州2020年选举结果的企图。
佐治亚州州长选举的共和党初选将于5月19日举行，胜出者将进入大选阶段。本次初选的首场也是唯一一场候选人辩论定于周一举行。

GOP gubernatorial hopeful’s pro-Trump pitch to voters clashes with paper trail inside his own company
April 27, 2026 7:00am EDT / Fox News
FIRST ON FOX:** A billionaire gubernatorial candidate in Georgia, who has said there is “no bigger supporter of Trump right now than I am,” is facing questions after a healthcare company within his business empire criticized President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
Rick Jackson has spent months trying to cast himself as the race’s most pro-Trump candidate who will be Trump’s “favorite governor” despite Trump’s endorsement of Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. However, one of his companies has repeatedly criticized the OBBBA, a landmark GOP legislative package that Trump endorsed and signed into law last year.
Jackson Physician Search, a subsidiary of Jackson Healthcare, said on its website in September 2025 that the bill’s “sweeping cuts to Medicaid and ACA programs raise serious concerns about access, equity, and sustainability,” and warned that some hospitals may need to “adapt or close their doors.”
In a February 2026 recruitment report, the company also said the law was projected to cause “between 10 and 15 million people” to lose health coverage, while Medicare and Medicaid cuts were creating “significant financial pressure” across healthcare organizations and considerable “fear and uncertainty” about what lies ahead.

“Rick supports the Big Beautiful Bill. Period,” Mike Schrimpf, a spokesperson for Jackson’s campaign, told Fox News Digital. “Growing up in the projects, Rick believes in the dignity of work and is a strong proponent of work requirements for that reason. He has long opposed Obamacare and regularly touts President Trump’s healthcare policies, like TrumpRx, on the campaign trail. That’s why Rick Jackson will be Donald Trump’s favorite governor.”
Schrimpf added that “for months” Democrats have been attacking Jackson for his support of the OBBBA, noting “this attack makes about as much sense as accusing a pilot of hating to fly.”
At a campaign event last month in Thomasville, Georgia, Jackson told constituents that he thought there were “many parts” of the OBBBA that were “great,” and said he would be paying “40 percent more in taxes” if it had not passed, and defended work requirements in the bill by saying they motivate people to be productive and get off Medicaid.
“The worst thing that we can do is tell people — is get people relying on government where they have no incentive to work,” Jackson told constituents.
“It’s the most dehumanizing thing that you can do,” he continued. “God made us to be productive.”

Jackson has also drawn himself closer to Trump by praising his tariff policies. “I believe in fairness,” Jackson said in March. “Don’t want somebody to take advantage of us in a business transaction. That’s what he’s trying to do. So I support.”
Meanwhile, Jackson, who reportedly modeled his campaign launch after Trump with a celebratory elevator descent, said he can’t name a single White House policy he disagreed with, according to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.

But, despite these assertions from Jackson on the campaign trail, his remarks stand at stark odds with his physician search firm warning in a February white paper about “considerable fear and uncertainty” for what is to come as the result of the OBBBA.
“The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is projected to cause between 10 and 15 million people to lose health coverage,” the white paper notes, citing new public healthcare work requirements implemented by the OBBBA. “Medicare and Medicaid cuts are creating significant financial pressure across healthcare organizations,” it continues.
The same report, which includes comments from the firm’s senior leadership and other content on the search firm’s website, also slammed H-1B visa provisions in the OBBBA aimed at restoring integrity to the immigration program that has reportedly been rife with fraud, arguing it would be a net negative for the healthcare industry.

The materials and resources also said OBBBA would promote physician burnout, would likely force rural hospitals to shut down, would discourage hopeful physicians from going to school, thus exacerbating the existing doctor shortage, and briefly emphasized the negative impact of Trump’s tariffs on physician recruitment.
“My team works with clients throughout the Midwest who are facing department closures if they can’t hire a physician or advanced practice provider. For proof, just look at the number of labor and delivery departments forced to close in the past few years,” said Senior Vice President of Recruiting at Jackson Physician Search, Tara Osseck. “Now, recent policy changes — including provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and increased fees affecting international visas — are adding new layers of complexity to an already challenging physician recruitment environment.”
“The implications are significant,” Osseck adds. “Coverage losses can lead to increases in uncompensated care, placing additional strain on already thin operating margins. When financial pressure mounts, healthcare organizations may delay service expansions, reduce hiring plans, or freeze recruitment altogether.”

The OBBBA, a wide-ranging bill, included reforms to the federal student loan program aimed at making education more affordable. However, Regional Vice President of Recruiting at Jackson Physician Search, Tonya Hamlin, warned the reforms will actually make it harder for hopeful physicians to get to college.

“These reforms could force students to absorb the difference through private loans or personal resources,” Hamlin wrote in a blog post on the search firm’s website. “They could also cause lower-income students to reconsider attendance altogether.”
Hamlin went on to warn that with fewer people able to go to medical school, the shortage of physicians will only get worse for hospitals and clinics.
“Despite these additional hurdles, clinicians and trainees must not be deterred,” Hamlin encouraged. “Stay focused on the higher purpose of your calling while staying informed, planning ahead financially, and engaging in ongoing advocacy.”
The Republican primary race for Georgia governor has been a messy one between Jackson and other frontrunner candidates, including Jones, Attorney General Chris Carr, and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. In particular, Jones and Jackson have been sparring over who is more aligned with Trump.
“This Primary Election is very simple,” Jones says on his campaign website. “There is one authentic conservative who has fought for President Trump.”

Jackson, meanwhile, donated $1 million to the president’s political action committee, MAGA Inc. less than two months before he jumped into the race in February and has faced backlash for cutting 6-figure checks to the presidential campaigns of Trump’s former GOP rivals during the 2024 Republican primary.
Jackson also reportedly ran an ad against Raffenspeger portraying him as the Biblical character Judas in an attempt to portray him as a traitor for defying Trump’s efforts to challenge Georgia’s 2020 election results.
The Republican primary to see who will move on to the general election in Georgia’s gubernatorial fight will take place on May 19. The first and only debate between the candidates is scheduled for Monday.
