Mississippi Senate moves forward with Medicaid expansion plan despite pushback from Gov. Reeves
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate quickly passed a Medicaid expansion bill, labeled “Expansion Light,” with a 37-15 vote, differing from the House version by extending coverage to those at 100 percent of the federal poverty level, not 138 percent. The bill includes a work requirement of 30 hours per week with exceptions, potentially covering 80,000 citizens. Governor Tate Reeves opposes the Senate's plan, viewing it as “welfare expansion” for able-bodied adults and vowing to fight against Obamacare expansions. Proponents argue it would support working poor and struggling hospitals. The proposal now moves to the House for consideration.
