EMCC JOB FAIR Mississippi receives grant to fight opioid crisis

Ths e As ociated Press

BILOXI — One of Mississippi’s U.S. senators has announced the state has been awarded a multi-million dollar grant to fight the opioid crisis. WLOX-TV reported Thursday that the state Department of Mental Health Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services will use the Opioid State Targeted Response grant to build on pre- vention strategies. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith says the grant funding will allow Mississippi to expand prevention and treatment options.

Other Editors Medicaid idea needs safeguards Mississippi’s request to require some Medicaid recipients to work for their benefits is sounding alarm bells. Some are legitimate, while others are not. A report last week said researchers believe that in the next five years, up to 20,000 low-in- come parents in the state would lose their government healthcare coverage if the request is approved. This is because they would earn too much money working 20 hours a week to qualify for Medicare in Mississippi. “Too much money” actually is the wrong term. Twenty hours a week at minimum wage would produce gross pay of just $7,540 in a year’s time. But in some cases, the state’s income cutoff to qualify for Medicaid is lower than that. Gov. Phil Bryant supports the idea of work- ing for Medicaid. His hope is that forcing more people to find a job will, over time, lead to better training and pay, and the possibility of private medical insurance from an employer. Mississippi’s proposal would exempt from the work requirement the mentally ill and primary caregivers of people who can’t take POLITICS care of themselves. There may need, however, to be more safeguards to prevent people from being hurt unfairly. But who can honestly Imagine a 2020 street fight argue that healthy, working-age residents who receive an expensive government benefit should not have to work part time, or at least between Cuomo and Trump try to find a job?
