North Carolina Senate Democrats recently filed SB 402 to expand Medicaid, which they say would insure 600,000 North Carolinians and bring the state billions of dollars worth of economic benefits and federal aid. Representative Verla Insko filed similar legislation last month with HB 316.
At a press conference Tuesday morning, Sen. Mike Woodard expressed confidence the legislation would enjoy bipartisan support this time around. In the press conference, Woodward stated:
“As one of only 12 states left that have not expanded Medicaid, we have now seen almost 1.2 million North Carolinians without health insurance, as we stand here today.”
