Reeves makes clear that cost is not his reason for opposing Medicaid expansion for working poor

The shroud of mystery has been removed on why Gov. Tate Reeves opposes expanding Medicaid.

It is not a matter of cost. The governor simply does not support expanding Medicaid to provide health care coverage for Mississippi’s working poor.

Reeves’ recent announcement of his plan to provide additional federal funds for struggling hospitals makes clear that the cost to the state is not the reason he opposes expanding Medicaid.
