Mississippi lawmakers passed a stack of bills yesterday. Not among them was a closely-watched measure that would extend postpartum Medicaid in the state.

Shalina Chatlani is a reporter at the Gulf States Newsroom who's been following the story. She joins us to share what the likely demise of this bill means for women in Mississippi.

This is an abbreviated show to accommodate MPB's spring membership drive.
