Mississippi Insight for February 25, 2024: Medicaid Expansion
SUMMARY: Mississippi is facing a pivotal debate on expanding healthcare coverage for working Mississippians. Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann is advocating for Medicaid expansion to help address chronic health issues and support hospitals. Lisha Preston, a single mother and advocate for Medicaid expansion, shared her personal struggles with affording healthcare. Hosemann introduced a bill to provide coverage for working individuals at a lower premium, funded by the federal government. The state aims to increase healthcare access to improve workforce participation and overall health. Additionally, there is a push to strengthen campaign finance laws to ensure transparency in elections.
Lawmakers line up bills to expand or modify Medicaid to cover more of Mississippi's workforce. We hear from Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann and two stakeholders in the debate. Hosted by Byron Brown and produced by Tom Wright.
