Lawmakers nearing compromise on Medicaid expansion plan amid gridlock
SUMMARY: Mississippi Senate conferees, after initially missing a meeting, are now open to negotiating Medicaid expansion with the House. The Senate’s original proposal covers individuals up to 100% of the federal poverty level with a work requirement, while the House’s plan aims for 138%, potentially benefiting 200,000 residents. The Senate’s compromise includes managed care up to 100% and federal exchange coverage between 100% and 138% of the poverty level. The federal government would cover 90% of expenses and the state 10%. Both plans necessitate a work requirement, with the Senate ready to legalize such measures. Governor Tate Reeves, a Medicaid expansion opponent, facilitated Medicaid reimbursements for hospitals, as Mississippi remains among the 10 states without expanded Medicaid coverage. Any passed proposal would likely have to be resistant to a gubernatorial veto.

SUMMARY: Authorities have confirmed the drowning deaths of Mississippi twins Jamarion and Camarion Grady at Lake Pushmataha near Philadelphia. The incident occurred while the brothers were fishing; Jamarion died on the scene, and Camarion passed away in the hospital on Sunday. The twins, both seniors at Philadelphia High School, were beloved for their vibrant spirits. Jamarion, known as “Frog,” was praised for his potential and uplifting presence, while Camarion, known as “Fatt,” was a popular student-athlete and a deeply admired leader who lived his faith. Grief counseling will be provided, and the community is encouraged to wear red and black in their honor.
