Mississippi Insight for April 28, 2024: Busy Friday
SUMMARY: This special edition of Mississippi Insight focuses on the ongoing discussions about Medicaid expansion in the state. There have been negotiations between the House and Senate, with a compromise plan being proposed by the Senate that includes coverage for individuals up to 138% of the federal poverty level. The House and Senate have also been working on education funding, with changes made to the Inspire Act. Additionally, the program highlights a report card from Republicans for Ukraine grading Mississippi GOP Congressmen on their support for aid to Ukraine. There are concerns about isolationism within the Republican Party and the importance of American leadership in supporting democracies like Ukraine.
House and Senate conferees find themselves near an agreement on Medicaid expansion, but details remain in doubt and time is running short for getting anything done this session. 12 News' Byron Brown and Richard Lake front this special report from the State Capitol. Produced by Tom Wright.

SUMMARY: Dr. Andrea Carter emphasizes the importance of annual checkups for women, highlighting the need for regular pelvic and breast exams to detect diseases like cervical and ovarian cancer. She is concerned that many women are not taking their health seriously, possibly due to misinformation and myths about the frequency of checkups. Delaying checkups could result in missed opportunities for early detection and treatment of serious health issues. Annual exams can improve overall health and potentially save lives. It is crucial for women to prioritize their health and schedule regular appointments with their healthcare provider. Visit the website for more information on Women's Health Week and resources.
