Lawmakers working to finalize bill moving to state-based health insurance exchange
SUMMARY: The Mississippi legislature aims to establish a state-based health insurance exchange, potentially saving the state millions, via House Bill 1647. The bill would replace the federal Affordable Care Act exchange and allow rate determination by a regulatory board and an actuarial firm. The Senate passed the bill with support, and if adopted, Mississippi could save up to $200 million. The exchange offers personalized coverage with potential tax benefits and uses federal insurers for bill processing. Meanwhile, Medicaid expansion debates continue, with Gov. Reeves opposed. The public can stay informed through a free newsletter.

House rejects Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson
SUMMARY: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson was overwhelmingly defeated by a bipartisan vote of 359-43. Despite her criticism of Johnson's leadership, including his handling of foreign aid for Ukraine, Johnson retained his position with significant Democratic support. Donald Trump expressed his love for Greene while advising against her motion at this time. The vote reflects deep divisions within the GOP and highlights the potential challenges for Republican leadership. Greene's actions may have political repercussions for her, as some party members voiced their discontent with her tactics.
