SUMMARY: Medicaid expansion discussions in Mississippi reached an impasse as Senate representatives failed to attend a planned meeting with House members. The House expressed a readiness to negotiate, proposing coverage for individuals up to 138% of the federal poverty level with a tentative work requirement. The plan could potentially cover 200,000 residents, with a 90-10 federal to state cost-share. The Senate’s counter-proposal requires a 30-hour workweek for coverage up to 100% of the poverty level, with a 77-23 federal to state cost-share, impacting around 80,000 people. Mississippi remains one of 10 states without expanded Medicaid.
