🎉 Today, we're celebrating the one-year anniversary of Medicaid expansion in NC! This milestone means many hardworking North Carolinians can now access the high-quality, affordable healthcare they need. Together, we’ve taken a big step toward a healthier, stronger state. 💙

Terry is one of the MILLIONS of NCians struggling w/medical debt in our state. We are counting on hospital CEOs to put an end to stories like his by supporting the medical debt relief incentive program from @NC_Governor & @ncdhhs. Help us convince them at https://t.co/YWfWCyWD83.

We’re continuing to celebrate 500K NCians enrolled in Medicaid expansion! For Robin, Medicaid expansion means hope for people suffering from mental health & substance use disorders, offering a path to recovery that could have saved her daughter’s life.

“When a wall came up, we figured out a way to get around them… I’m so proud that we’re not only getting it done, but we are getting it done well… Already for the Medicaid expansion population, 1.9 million prescriptions filled.” @KodyKinsley

“We have done 500,000 in a timeframe that no one anticipated… that’s something to brag about… To have our patients come in and hear about their cholesterol levels for the first time in years. That’s what we’re doing.” - Dr. Karen Smith

[NC Justice Center @ncjustice]

“It’s meeting people where they are and connecting them to the resources they need that leads me to say I have one of the best jobs in the world… Each number [of the 500,000] represents the life of a North Carolinian.”

It's an exciting day in North Carolina as we celebrate 500,000 people enrolled into our state's Medicaid expansion program in less than a year! This incredible milestone was only possible because of the everyday people who spoke up and advocated tirelessly for the last 10 years.

Go live: December 1.

Of the 600,000 that will gain health care coverage through Medicaid expansion, **half** will gain coverage on day one!

[NC Justice Center @ncjustice]

We are thrilled that NC has, at long last, set a December 1 launch date for Medicaid expansion and that over 600,000 of our neighbors no longer have to live in fear of getting sick and facing medical bills they can’t afford. Read our full statement: https://t.co/HiQobb1uto

We oppose the #ncga’s scheme to tie Medicaid expansion to gambling & casinos. As an antipoverty organization, we cannot endorse gambling, which has been shown to increase poverty & deepen social inequality among our most vulnerable communities. Read more: https://t.co/RQVwYXj46R

Anthony Brooks, a Beaufort County man with a heart condition, is about to lose #Medicaid over $7. He’d still be covered if #Medicaidexpansion had gone into effect. He's not the only one.

It is heart-wrenching to see Mr. Brooks face this life threatening delay and know there is a simple solution within reach: allow Medicaid expansion to move forward.

Anthony Brooks--denied Medicaid b/c he's $7 over the eligibility limit--pleads with NC leaders to implement Medicaid expansion so he can get life-saving heart surgery. https://t.co/0PCfQ7CFIR

"We pay their salaries, their health insurance. We get blown off. It's not fair... If they don’t listen now, we’re gonna have to start hauling body bags up here." -- Anthony Brooks, speaking on the #ncga's cruel & unnecessary delay of Medicaid expansion.

[NC Justice Center @ncjustice]

We are deeply dismayed that Medicaid expansion will not launch on October 1 due to the #ncga’s failure to negotiate a state budget. Read more: https://t.co/LVGbYQ3Ev0
