Mississippi legislative leaders advocate Medicaid expansion, heading to conflict with the governor
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Republican legislative leaders, including House Speaker Jason White and Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann, are advocating for Medicaid expansion to support low-income workers despite opposition from Governor Tate Reeves, who views Medicaid as โwelfare.โ Business groups endorse this initiative, arguing it would improve public health and strengthen communities. Medicaid expansion could benefit approximately 75,000 working individuals. Additionally, the leaders plan to focus on tax reduction measures in the upcoming legislative session, such as phasing out the state income tax and lowering the grocery tax, as they pursue various reform priorities for 2025.
