Policy Analysis #2 (250 points)

PH 528 Final Exam

Graduate Students Only

Introduction: State Representative Joey Hood (Mississippi District 35) is the chairman of the Mississippi State House of Representatives Medicaid Committee. In 2022, the House let a measure die without a vote that would have allowed pregnant women who already qualify for Medicaid to get healthcare for an additional 10 months after childbirth. This bill is again up for debate in 2025.

There is little debate to be had about the merits of expanding Medicaid in Mississippi. However, there are competing viewpoints as to whether the best option is to
fully expand Medicaid as allowed under the Affordable Care Act or to
expand particular benefits for unique populations (like the postpartum bill). Representative Hood has asked you to write a policy analysis on this issue.


Sections: Must be 5 pages minimum- section page amounts are suggestions

1.
Problem Identification (1 sentence)

a.
How should Medicaid be expanded in the state of Mississippi?

2.
Background (~1 page)

a. Informs the reader why this particular problem has been chosen for analysis

3.
Landscape (~3 pages)

a. Provides the overall context for the analysis, organized by key factors

4.

5.
Recommendation (~0.5 pages)

Policy Analysis Format:

· Can reference scholarly articles, news articles, and reputable government, health, or non-profit agencies
