Senate Medicaid Committee passes expansion plan as Gov. Reeves pushes back
SUMMARY: Mississippi's Senate Medicaid Committee passed a Medicaid expansion bill, aiming to cover adults up to 100% of the federal poverty level with work requirements, potentially benefiting 80,000-100,000 people. Governor Tate Reeves opposes the bill, denouncing it as an “Obamacare” expansion and expressing concerns over its work requirement exceptions. He argued the bill would increase welfare dependency while offering exceptions that could be abused. Supporters of the bill see it as a solution to the state's healthcare crisis, aiding struggling hospitals and the working poor. Reeves has proposed an alternative Medicaid reimbursement program without expanding coverage. The Senate has a deadline of April 10 to vote on the expansion legislation.

SUMMARY: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson was overwhelmingly defeated by a bipartisan vote of 359-43. Despite her criticism of Johnson's leadership, including his handling of foreign aid for Ukraine, Johnson retained his position with significant Democratic support. Donald Trump expressed his love for Greene while advising against her motion at this time. The vote reflects deep divisions within the GOP and highlights the potential challenges for Republican leadership. Greene's actions may have political repercussions for her, as some party members voiced their discontent with her tactics.
