Mississippi lawmakers running out of time to pass Medicaid expansion
SUMMARY: Lawmakers in Mississippi did not hold a vote on Medicaid expansion and instead decided to continue negotiations on the compromise measure. House Democrats opposed the plan privately, fearing the inclusion of a work requirement. They argue that a work requirement would not be effective and could jeopardize Medicaid expansion efforts. Lawmakers have until Thursday to reach an agreement on the issue. Failure to do so could mean Medicaid expansion will not move forward. Rep. Robert Johnson III expressed concerns about the work requirement and its impact on the Medicaid expansion proposal.
