On March 18th, the Care4Mississippi coalition & MWESI had an inspiring Advocacy Day! 💪 We came together to push for Medicaid expansion & protection, showing that Mississippians want their voices heard. Excited for more! #Care4Mississippi #MWESI #AdvocacyDay #CloseTheGapMS

🚨Mississippi is one of only 10 STATES that has NOT expanded Medicaid. The state you live in shouldn’t decide if you live.

The Care4Mississippi Coalition’s statement reflects on the 2025 legislative session. We’ll continue advocating for working Mississippians in the coverage gap, like Ms. Andrea. We're hopeful the legislature will address expansion next year—or even in a special session. #MSLeg #CloseTheGapMS

🚨 Congress plans to cut $880 BILLION from Medicaid, threatening healthcare for over 700,000 Mississippians. Kids, seniors in long-term care, and those with disabilities will lose the care they depend on. This can't happen. 🛑 #SaveMedicaid #HandsOffMedicaid #Care4Mississippi #ClosetheGapMS
