SUMMARY: In Mississippi, hopes for Medicaid expansion persist for the next legislative session, despite previous failures to reach an agreement this year. Speaker of the House Jason White expressed optimism during a talk with local business leaders, highlighting the potential benefits of increased federal funding and support for rural hospitals. He emphasized the economic strain caused by the lack of coverage for low-income workers. Although both the House and Senate have shown movement toward expansion, Governor Tate Reeves remains opposed to any program extension, despite strong public backing.
