SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers are set to vote on a proposal to expand Medicaid while adding a work requirement for recipients. The plan, submitted shortly before a Monday night deadline, would require new Medicaid recipients to work at least 100 hours per month in a job without private health insurance. They could also meet the requirement if they are full-time students or parents of children under six. The proposal aims to expand coverage to thousands more people but may face challenges in getting federal approval due to the work requirement. The vote is expected this week.
