Tell Chairmen Hob Bryan and Dean Kirby to let your senator vote on
HB 1013
CALL PUBLIC HEALTH & WELFARE CHAIR
HOB BRYAN @ (662) 256-9989
CALL FINANCE CHAIR
DEAN KIRBY @ (601) 932-1966
Thank you for your calls to the Lt. Governor and your support of a $1 cigarette tax increase. Your calls to Phil Bryant are having an impact on the status of HB 1013. It is vital that these two chairmen here from you on the importance of your senator being allowed to vote on HB 1013.
HB 1013 is the Medicaid technical amendment bill. The $1 cigarette tax increase in the bill would provide a dedicated source of funding for Mississippi's Division of Medicaid. The secure funding source- the cigarette tax increase-is much needed as the program is faced with a grave deficit. Without review of the legislation, thousands of children and elderly could loose their health insurance.
Over 630,000 of Mississippi's most vulnerable, the elderly and children, are at risk of loosing their health coverage if an agreement is not reached on Medicaid. The only viable option for a dedicated source of revenue to support Medicaid is the $1 cigarette tax increase. Medicaid and the cigarette tax must be addressed this session before legislators go home. Health care is too important to be loss in the game of politics!

H.B. 1013 is currently before the Senate Public Health & Welfare and Finance Committees.
Call Bryan and Kirby and tell them to LET YOUR SENATOR VOTE!!!
Senate chairmen should allow all senators to vote on a $1 cigarette tax increase and show their constituents how they stand on this important issue. The $1 cigarette tax increase would generate $174 million in new revenue while preventing thousands of kids from ever becoming smokers.
All senators should be given an opportunity to let their constituents know how they stand on this important issue. Committee chairmen should not make this decision in isolation. Chairmen should not pocket veto this bill by prohibiting their committee from voting. A vote by Senate committees is necessary and important to ensure that the democratic process works.
