Gov. Tate Reeves privately tells senators he will veto any Medicaid expansion bill by Taylor Vance, Mississippi Today March 12, 2024 Republican Gov. Tate Reeves summoned a group of state senators to the Governor's Mansion in early March and privately told them he will veto any Medicaid expansion bill lawmakers pass, two senators told Mississippi Today.
Where’s the plan? Senate still has only a ‘dummy bill’ for Medicaid expansion Staffers for Reeves, who has long emphatically and publicly opposed expansion, did not respond to a request for comment about the event or his remarks. One Senate source told Mississippi Today that Reeves would be hosting another gathering of lawmakers at the Mansion on Tuesday night. Reeves has taken to social media over the last few weeks to reiterate his opposition to expansion.
‘Moral imperative’: House overwhelmingly passes Mississippi Medicaid expansion The House bill contains a work requirement for recipients of Medicaid expansion, but it ensures that the expansion would go into effect even if the federal government does not approve the work requirement. The House bill, which passed with a veto-proof majority, is pending in the Senate, where Republican leaders have been working behind closed doors on some version of Medicaid expansion.
