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.
