Mississippi Senate Republicans push Medicaid expansion ‘lite’ proposal that would cover fewer people
SUMMARY: Republican lawmakers in Mississippi are pushing for Medicaid expansion with a work requirement of at least 30 hours per week, up from the House-approved 20-hour requirement. They believe this will ensure able-bodied adults work “basically full time” to receive benefits. Proponents argue that expansion could help improve health care conditions in the state, which currently ranks poorly in health indicators. However, opponents, including Gov. Tate Reeves, argue that the program will lead to government dependency and push people off private insurance. The Senate's proposal also depends on President Biden's administration approving the work requirement, which they have consistently revoked in the past.
