Humana Inc. says it will cover the 36 Mississippi counties that had been left uncovered on the new federal online marketplace when it starts enrolling customers in October.
Mississippi officials propose charging different rates for state workers' and teachers' health insurance, depending on whether those covered by the plan take steps to manage potentially expensive health conditions.
The Mississippi Health Department told lawmakers Wednesday that it needs more money in the coming budget year or it may have to close clinics and reduce AIDS drug purchases.
