On December 9th, Care4Mississippi convened advocates, community members, and providers for a thoughtful discussion on healthcare access and affordability in Mississippi. The Policy Luncheon created space to explore the impacts of H.R. 1, examine policy priorities shaping healthcare affordability, and engage in meaningful dialogue about what access looks like across our state.

We were grateful to be joined by panelists John Dillon Harris, Dr. Sandra Melvin, and Kaylan Szafranski, whose insights helped ground the conversation in both local and federal perspectives. Thank you to everyone who attended, shared ideas, and continues to show up for health equity in Mississippi.

We also extend our sincere thanks to the Mississippi Center for Justice and the Mississippi Health Advocacy Program (MHAP) for sponsoring the event and supporting these important conversations.

"Undoubtedly one of the worst things the law does – and that is a high bar – is to mandate a Medicaid work requirement for Medicaid expansion or expansion-related enrollees in all states that have expanded Medicaid, starting on January 1, 2027. The work requirements do not apply to other Medicaid populations (such as section 1931 parents or other traditional groups), and thus do not apply in states that haven’t expanded Medicaid coverage thus far, including Alabama, Florida, Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming."
