Jackson, Miss. — The following statement is attributable to Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann:
“We had some discussions with Senators today about the possibility of a nonbinding referendum on the ballot and the idea was not well received.
We are disappointed in the outcome this year, but value the discussions which occurred this Session—the first time this Legislature has seriously considered healthcare reform in our state. I remain committed to finding ways to increase access for working Mississippians who otherwise do not have the resources for a simple check-up or an extended hospital stay. A strong work requirement, with necessary exceptions, is a bottom line for many Senators. We look forward to continuing the conversation on access to healthcare in the future.”
