Snowden on Medicaid

Snowden on Medicaid

It appears that it will come down to the last minute, but state Rep. Greg Snowden says he believes Mississippi’s Medicaid program will be re-authorized.

House Democrats are pushing for expansion of the program under the federal health care law, but republicans want to re-new it as-is.

The governor is expected to call a special session before the end of June.

Snowden, who is the president pro tem in the House, told the Lauderdale County Council of Governments Monday that he believes renewal, not expansion, will happen then.
