Poll: Majority of Mississippi Republican voters support Medicaid expansion by Taylor Vance, Mississippi Today March 19, 2024 A majority of Mississippi’s Republican primary voters support expanding Medicaid coverage to the working poor, according to a recent poll commissioned by the American Cancer Society.
Senate Medicaid Chairman Kevin Blackwell, R-Southaven, previously told reporters he plans to introduce a Medicaid expansion plan this week. A reason that some senators, particularly those from rural districts, are reluctant to support expansion is a fear that they could attract a GOP primary challenger who would potentially criticize them for voting in favor of the policy.
