Hosemann: Lessons from voter ID law can drive healthcare reform legislation
SUMMARY: In 2011, as Mississippi’s Secretary of State, the speaker advocated for a Voter ID law, which critics expected would fail legally. Contrary to these expectations, Mississippi implemented the law without facing legal challenges from the Department of Justice. Drawing a parallel, the speaker, now the Lt. Governor, suggests similar success could be achieved in healthcare reform. A Senate proposal aimed to extend healthcare to those earning below 138% of the poverty line, including a work requirement. Despite concerns, there is optimism that the federal government would approve this plan. The state has also achieved funding milestones for education, infrastructure, and healthcare. The views are the speaker’s own, not SuperTalk Mississippi Media’s, which invites readers to subscribe to its newsletter.
