Medicaid expansion has helped more veterans access care and cut the uninsured rate in half — from 6% to 2%.
In NC, more than 53,000 veterans are covered.
Coverage is care. Care is respect.

1 in 10 U.S. veterans — 1.6 million people — rely on Medicaid for health care.
For many, it’s their only coverage.
Protecting Medicaid means protecting those who protected us.

NC saw the biggest drop in uninsured working-age adults in the U.S. last year.
📉 Why? Medicaid expansion.
🩺 More coverage = better health, stronger workforce.
Let’s keep it going.

Today marks 60 years since President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicaid into law—one of the most significant investments in our nation’s health. In NC, it ensures access to care for over 3.1 million people.

23% of North Carolinians enrolled in #NCMedicaid are struggling with mental health or substance use. Health coverage through #NCMedicaid connects them with the care, services and treatment they need. Protect #NCMedicaid. Learn more at ncallianceforhealth.org/prot…
Proposed House & Senate plans would cut #NCMedicaid and raise costs for many by ending subsidies & tax credits for Health Care Marketplace coverage. Learn more: ncallianceforhealth.org/prot…

NCHA urges the rejection of the Senate’s proposed #Medicaid cuts. A better way is the House bill protecting provider taxes and SDPs that support #NC Medicaid. We are grateful to @senthomtillis and NC congressional delegation for standing up for hospitals. tinyurl.com/mw28m3zr

Over 17 percent of the child care workforce in North Carolina is covered by Medicaid.
That means cuts to Medicaid could impact the cost and availability of early childhood.

🔴 Today the Senate passed a bill that could strip coverage from 670,000 North Carolinians and end our state’s SNAP program.
Tell the House: Reject Medicaid & SNAP cuts.
Act now: ncallianceforhealth.org/cont…

Proposed cuts to Medicaid in the “one big, beautiful bill” could jeopardize care for more than 600,000 people in North Carolina, including 6-year-old Kennedy Beaver, who relies on the program for treatment of a rare genetic condition. Here’s what to know about the massive spending and tax bill. cbsn.ws/4kkYOTT

While much of the debate about “One Big Beautiful Bill” focuses on cuts to Medicaid, more than 1 million North Carolinians who buy private health insurance through the ACA would pay more. By @saraisraelsen for @TheAssemblyNC. #ncpol theassemblync.com/politics/l…
670,000+ North Carolinians gained coverage through Medicaid expansion—but a new federal bill could wipe it out. The “One Big Beautiful Bill” creates an unfunded mandate that NC can’t afford. #ProtectNCMedicaid 🔗northcarolinahealthnews.org/…
Congress wants to cut Medicaid to fund tax breaks—putting 255,000 North Carolinians at risk of losing coverage due to new red tape. Protect #NCMedicaid. Learn more: ncallianceforhealth.org/prot…

Congress is considering proposals that could take health coverage away from 650,000+ working North Carolinians overnight. When employees are uninsured, they miss more work, are less productive, and employers pay more. Medicaid Strengthens NC. Visit Medicaid.nc.gov.

Proposed cuts to Medicaid would crush small and rural hospitals and make it harder for people to get the care they need.
North Carolina can’t afford this.

We can expect large Medicaid cuts to be disruptive to the small business sector of the economy because 1/3 of all Medicaid enrollees are connected to small businesses as our new report finds.
Thanks to partners @SmlBizMajority

Thanks @NCRuralCenter for this progress report on Medicaid expansion in North Carolina's rural communities! The data shows that a higher percentage of rural county residents have been enrolled in Medicaid expansion than in suburban and urban counties.
