HB1624 makes an appropriation for the purpose of continuing to provide medical assistance under the Mississippi Medicaid Law.
The Senate passed HB1624 on March 9, 2023, by a vote of 52 to 0. We have assigned minuses to the yeas because neither health care nor social welfare is the legitimate object of government. Medicaid, like other so-called ‘entitlement programs,’ not only relies on the discriminatory and unjust use of other citizens’ taxpayer funds in violation of the Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment, but continues to cause more debt, poverty, and government dependency in the United States.
