PARTNER ALERT & CALL TO ACTION FOR

MEDICAID EXPANSION

In a late action yesterday, Speaker Jason White announced the possibility of putting Medicaid Expansion with and without a work requirement on the ballot. Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann says the Senate is not in support of that option. Things are rapidly changing and time is running out. MLICCI is urging you to make your voice heard! See the alert below from Care 4 Mississippi.

ABOUT MLICCI
In Mississippi, one of the biggest barriers to employment for low-income single moms is access to child care. Because we believe that no mother should have to choose between the job she needs and the child she loves, MLICCI works to improve the state’s child care assistance program and strengthen the financial viability of the child care centers that serve low-income mothers.
