SUMMARY: House Democrats and Republicans in Mississippi are working together to expand Medicaid in the state, with Democrats supporting the effort. However, there is a work requirement in place for government-funded health care that some believe should be removed, as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have denied almost every application with a work requirement in the past. There is a provision in the bill stating that if the work requirement is not approved, the bill would still go into effect. Democrats argue that the requirement should be removed to ensure Mississippians can receive Medicaid immediately. Governor Tate Reeves opposes government-run health care, while State Representative Johnson believes that without Medicaid expansion, communities in the state will suffer.
