Group members calling for Medicaid expansion make stop in Tupelo

A group aligned with the Democrat Party of Mississippi is calling for an expansion of Medicaid in the state. The organization known as “Save Our Hospitals” made a stop in Tupelo for a news conference. Members of the group are calling on the governor and Republican leaders to expand Medicaid. They claim that would free up $1 billion that could help low-income Mississippians, along with rural hospitals throughout the state.
