North Carolina Governor Signs Medicaid Expansion Bill, Providing Healthcare Access to More Residents.
TL;DR Summary
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper signed a Medicaid expansion law that will provide government-funded health coverage to potentially 600,000 low-income adults. The law contains a proviso requiring a separate state budget law to be enacted first for expansion to be accepted and implemented, making an enrollment start date unclear and giving the GOP leverage in upcoming negotiations. The measure is a significant victory for Cooper, who has sought expansion since being first elected governor in 2016.
