Mississippi Senate passes trimmed Medicaid expansion and sends bill back to the House
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers are negotiating the expansion of Medicaid in the state, with the Senate proposing a narrower version than the House.

Republican lawmakers emphasize the importance of a work requirement for Medicaid expansion, while Democrats argue that the state is facing a health care crisis and support the bill as a step forward from the status quo.
