Mississippi is one of 10 states that haven’t expanded Medicaid , the state and federal health insurance program for people with low incomes or disabilities.
Seven of those states are in the South .
Advocates for expanding Medicaid say opposition is largely driven by political polarization, rather than cost concerns.
The House speaker, Jason White , a Republican , acknowledged the political hurdles.
The main disagreement in the Mississippi Legislature revolved around work requirements.
The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services would have to issue a waiver to allow an expansion plan with a work requirement.
North Carolina , the most recent Southern state to pass Medicaid expansion, may offer a glimpse of the future.
