Hosemann says Medicaid expansion, and healthier Mississippians, would help the state's workforce participation rate.
Hosemann announces Senate Medicaid expansion bill by Sophia Paffenroth, Mississippi Today February 15, 2024 Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann said Thursday the Senate will have a bill by Monday's deadline to expand Mississippi Medicaid to cover the working poor. Hosemann said the bill will likely contain a work requirement and cover roughly 230,000 adults who make too much to currently be eligible for Medicaid, but too little to afford private insurance.
That is, until unaddressed health issues render them disabled, qualifying them for Medicaid, or land them in an emergency room -- the most expensive place to receive health care. “We’re looking at the part of people who aren’t already covered that would fit into this workforce – maybe a working mom with a child or two children, how do we get her continued health care after the postpartum period,” Hosemann said.
