Mississippi uses the federal marketplace at HealthCare.gov and has not expanded Medicaid, which leaves roughly 71,000 low-income adults in a coverage gap; marketplace subsidies begin at 100% of the poverty line. About 307,000 residents are covered through the marketplace, down about 8% year over year — so where your income falls decides your options, and it's worth checking carefully.
The 2026 carrier mix shifted: Oscar entered while Cigna announced it will exit after 2026, alongside Ambetter from Magnolia Health, Molina, and UnitedHealthcare. Mississippi's markets center on Jackson — home to the academic University of Mississippi Medical Center — the Gulf Coast around Memorial and Singing River, and Hattiesburg around Forrest General.
