The Mississippi House Democratic leader says a Medicaid expansion plan endorsed by Republican leaders could struggle for bipartisan support.
FILE - Mississippi House Democratic Leader Robert Johnson, D-Natchez, speaks during a debate, Feb. 1, 2024, at the state Capitol in Jackson, Miss. Johnson said Tuesday, April 30, that many House Democrats have concerns about a bill that he said would provide"Medicaid expansion in name only.
Democrats have said for years that Medicaid expansion could help people receive care for chronic conditions such as asthma and diabetes, and that an infusion of federal money could give a boost to financially strapped hospitals. If the federal government rejects Mississippi’s work requirement, the state Division of Medicaid would be required to continue seeking approval each year — an acknowledgement that a different federal administration might provide a different decision.
