NEW: Gov. Tate Reeves asked lawmakers to pass a postpartum Medicaid extension after he staunchly resisted the policy for months. He did not address the stated fact his administration could do it without legislative approval.
by Bobby Harrison, Mississippi Today February 26, 2023 Gov. Tate Reeves, who for more than a year refused to endorse lengthening postpartum Medicaid coverage for new mothers from 60 days to a year, on Sunday announced his support for the extension. In a social media post, the first-term Republican governor facing reelection later this year said the Legislature should pass a bill extending health coverage for new mothers from 60 days to 12 months and that he would sign the proposal into law.
