Medicaid expansion is vital for Mississippi — but under the new federal bill, it comes with mandatory work requirements.
That means:
📉 Fewer people covered
💸 Higher state costs
🚫 Gig & low-wage workers at risk
Mississippi needs expansion — not extra barriers. #CloseTheGapMS #workrequirements

States Pursuing Medicaid Work Requirement Waivers Must Make Changes: How the OBB Changed the Landscape for Medicaid Work Requirements The new budget reconciliation law (aka OBBB — the One Big Beautiful Bill) makes the largest Medicaid cut in history ($990 billion over ten years).

Great breakdown from our friends at Georgetown Center for Children and Families #Care4Mississippi #workrequirements #closethegapms

Despite the political spin, the “one big beautiful bill” will hurt Mississippians — not help them. It threatens access to health care and makes it harder for families to put food on the table.

This isn’t a political issue. It’s a moral one.
#PeopleOverPolitics #Care4Mississippi

The Reconciliation bill is now law — putting 170,000 Mississippians at risk of losing health coverage.

Thank you to our partners for standing with us. The fight for health equity continues.

2/2 The Reconciliation bill threatens Mississippi’s rural hospitals:
❌ Cuts provider tax flexibility
❌ Caps critical payments
❌ Risks DSH funding
❌ Could cost rural areas $87B in revenue

MS can’t afford this. Our hospitals — and communities — are at risk. #HandsOFFMedicaid

🚨 Mississippi could lose 7,800 jobs if Medicaid cuts in the "Big Beautiful Bill" go through.
🔻 4,600 health jobs
🔻 3,300 non-health jobs
💸 $1.5B hit to the state’s economy over 10 years
This is more than health care—it's an economic crisis.

🚨 8 Mississippi hospitals could shut down under the "Big Beautiful Bill," which slashes $1T from Medicaid/ACA & $500B from Medicare — the largest health care cuts in U.S. history. Mississippi families will pay the price. #HandsOffMedicaid #IAmMedicaidMS #ProtectMedicaid #Care4MS #Care4Mississippi

🚨 Medicaid work requirements are a step in the wrong direction. Hardworking Mississippians already contribute to the workforce, often juggling multiple jobs. Requiring them to prove work to keep their healthcare is unfair.

Mississippi deserves solutions that WORK. 💼💪 #WorkforceSolutions #Care4MS

On March 18th, the Care4Mississippi coalition & MWESI had an inspiring Advocacy Day! 💪 We came together to push for Medicaid expansion & protection, showing that Mississippians want their voices heard. Excited for more! #Care4Mississippi #MWESI #AdvocacyDay #CloseTheGapMS

🚨Mississippi is one of only 10 STATES that has NOT expanded Medicaid. The state you live in shouldn’t decide if you live.

Without access to affordable care, people are facing shorter, unhealthier lives, and our rural hospitals suffer and are at risk of immediate closure.I🏥 #CloseTheGapMS #Care4MS

The Care4Mississippi Coalition’s statement reflects on the 2025 legislative session. We’ll continue advocating for working Mississippians in the coverage gap, like Ms. Andrea. We're hopeful the legislature will address expansion next year—or even in a special session. #MSLeg #CloseTheGapMS

🚨 Congress plans to cut $880 BILLION from Medicaid, threatening healthcare for over 700,000 Mississippians. Kids, seniors in long-term care, and those with disabilities will lose the care they depend on. This can't happen. 🛑 #SaveMedicaid #HandsOffMedicaid #Care4Mississippi #ClosetheGapMS
