SUMMARY: Roughly 200,000 working Mississippians, including Ken Allen, could have access to healthcare if Medicaid is fully expanded in the state. Allen, who works as a custodian, cannot afford insurance and has been denied Medicaid multiple times. He and his family struggle with health issues and have limited options without insurance. Mississippi faith leaders are also advocating for Medicaid expansion. Lawmakers are currently discussing the possibility of expansion, with the hope of including those making up to 138% of the federal poverty level.
