Republicans Medicaid Cuts Would Harm North Carolina Communities, Health Panel Warns
Two years ago, North Carolina became the 40th state to expand Medicaid, opening up crucial healthcare coverage to over 630,000 North Carolinians. The government-funded health insurance program has expanded much-needed coverage to low-income adults, pregnant women, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and rural communities where many have less access to care.
Despite the number of lives saved by this expansion, the success could be undone if Republicans cut federal funding for Medicaid.
