SB2212 extends postpartum coverage for Medicaid recipients from two months to 12 months.
The Senate passed SB2212 on February 7, 2023, by a vote of 41 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill further contributes to the profligate amounts of unconstitutional federal and state-level taxation and spending. Individual liberty, state sovereignty, and national fiscal responsibility demand that Mississippians ought to oppose the use of federal taxpayer dollars for ever-expanding programs such as Medicaid that are not authorized under Article 1, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution.
