Groups calls for Mississippi lawmakers to close healthcare coverage gap
SUMMARY: Care4MS is using their platform to urge Mississippi lawmakers to pass legislation that would close Mississippi's coverage gap and offer healthcare to over 200,000 Mississippians. The issue is that these individuals make too much for Medicaid, but not enough for private insurance. This leaves citizens like Lakeisha Preston, who has medical debt and makes too much money to qualify for government assistance, in dire financial situations. 8 bills have been filed in the current legislative session to expand Medicaid and shorten the coverage gap. However, Governor Tate Reeves has expressed disdain for these bills and would likely veto if passed.
