Reeves celebrates Medicaid expansion dying as Hosemann questions governor’s numbers
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers did not agree on a Medicaid expansion plan during their session. Governor Tate Reeves, who opposes such expansions, celebrated the halt as a victory on social media, deeming it an “Obamacare Medicaid Expansion scheme.” The Senate's only vote on the issue showed more favor than opposition among Republicans but was not enough to override a veto. Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann pointed out that the House and Senate supported expansion but clashed over work requirements. Hosemann believes CMS may accept a work requirement in the future. Current costs would be largely federally covered, with Mississippi benefiting financially. Mississippi remains one of the few states without Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, and rural hospitals are advocating for it to alleviate costs from uninsured patients.
