Medicaid bill makes it through committee
SUMMARY: The Mississippi House has passed a Medicaid expansion bill despite the governor's opposition. The Senate is now considering a similar bill that would extend health care coverage to thousands of working poor Mississippians. The bill includes work requirements and aims to cover a population without access to health care. The state has struggled with Medicaid expansion for years, with hospitals in need of federal funds. The Senate version of the bill is still being discussed, and a compromise may be reached in a conference committee. The governor is against the expansion, but lawmakers are working to find a solution.
