Mississippi Senate’s Medicaid expansion bill dies
SUMMARY: In the Senate, lawmakers decided to let their own Medicaid expansion bill die on the calendar and instead move forward by inserting Senate language into a House bill through a strike-all amendment. Senate Medicaid Committee Chairman Kevin Blackwell mentioned that the new language will include a work requirement, but did not provide further details. The future of the House bill is uncertain as details about the Senate plan have been slim. More information will be discussed in a committee hearing next week. The decision to let the original bill die and rewrite it with Senate language was a strategic move by lawmakers.
