One potential North Carolina path to Medicaid expansion â a controversial work requirement â has reached the U.S. Supreme Court.
Medicaid covers 2.2 million North Carolinians, with projections of expansion adding between 450,000 and 650,000 residents.
The justices are expected to review during their spring session the 3-0 D.C. Circuit Court ruling from February against work-requirement laws passed by Arkansas and New Hampshire.
The separate state cases have been consolidated by the Court.
Arkansas law placed a work, education and/or public service requirement on certain Medicaid recipients to qualify for benefits.
The N.C. General Assembly has not advanced a similar Medicaid-expansion work-requirement bill sponsored by Rep. Donny Lambeth, R-Forsyth, despite begrudging Democratic support.
