The Republican House and Senate leadership remain at odds over a work requirement for expanded Medicaid coverage -- something the federal government is unlikely to approve.
House, Senate leaders swap Medicaid expansion proposals as Monday night deadline nears by Taylor Vance, Mississippi Today April 29, 2024 House and Senate leaders ahead of a major Monday night deadline continued to trade proposals back and forth on Monday attempting to find a compromise plan to expand Medicaid coverage to poor Mississippians.
The House is willing to establish an expansion plan without a work requirement, but Senate leaders have maintained they will only support an expansion program that mandates work requirements — a stance that would at the least delay expanded coverage — perhaps for years, or prevent it from ever happening. House leaders have pointed out that people with income above the federal poverty level are likely working.
