The full House is expected to vote on the measure as early as Wednesday. A Senate expansion measure is pending.
Mississippi Medicaid expansion bill moves forward in GOP-led House over governor’s opposition by Sophia Paffenroth, Mississippi Today February 27, 2024 The state's Republican-led House is expected to vote on Mississippi Medicaid expansion as soon as Wednesday after a committee unanimously approved it Tuesday.
But the Senate bill, which as of right now is only a skeletal bill bringing forth Medicaid code sections to start, would according to Blackwell be entirely contingent on the federal government approving a waiver for a work requirement. During the Biden administration, Centers for Medicaid Services has rescinded work requirement waivers previously granted under the Trump administration, and has not approved new ones.
