House, Senate unable to reach compromise on Medicaid expansion proposal during initial conference meeting
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers from the House and Senate have failed to agree on Medicaid expansion terms, stalling legislative efforts. While the House proposed coverage for those earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level (FPL) with a potential work requirement, the Senate insisted on a mandatory 30-hour work week for expansion eligibility, but only for those up to 100% FPL. The House's plan could cover 200,000 Mississippians, with the federal government shouldering 90% of costs. The Senate's plan would cover 80,000 and require the state to pay a larger share. No compromise was reached, but dialogues continue.
