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.
