'We are hopeful a compromise is on the horizon. When people are healthy, they are working, raising their families, and contributing to their communities.' -- Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann
House, Senate close in on Medicaid expansion agreement by Bobby Harrison, Mississippi Today April 26, 2024 Senate leaders have agreed to expand Medicaid coverage to people earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level or about $20,000 annually as is allowed under federal law.
The Senate proposal would instruct the state Attorney General to file a lawsuit to try to overturn the federal government’s expected denial of the work requirement. A news release from Hosemann’s office said a work requirement is “a non-negotiable element.” Under the Senate offer, Medicaid would not be expanded until the work requirement is approved either through the federal Medicaid officials or through the federal courts.
