Statement from @ArdisWatkins on today’s announcement of a deal between the State Health Plan and @AtriumHealth:
“We thank Treasurer Briner for remaining steadfast in his position to protect the financial viability of the State Health Plan and to shield future members from unnecessary increases in healthcare costs. His focus on long-term sustainability reflects a commitment to responsible governance and to the many public servants and families who rely on the Plan. We are equally grateful to Atrium Health for their willingness to develop and present a thoughtful proposal that addresses key concerns regarding cost for all State Health Plan members.”
SEANC retweeted
A path forward for State Health Plan members.
The Plan and Atrium Health have reached a new multiyear agreement, meaning all four major hospital systems have now successfully negotiated discount rates with the Plan.

Capping the income tax would mean less money for already underfunded public services. It would make it harder to respond to economic downturns, emergencies or future needs. Vote against Amendment 2! #ncpol

SEANC urges voters to reject the two tax amendments on the Nov. 3 ballot that would further erode the state’s public services. Both amendments would write rigid tax limits into the NC Constitution and make it harder for the state and local governments to pay for schools, public safety, infrastructure and the employees who provide those services. #ncga #ncpol seanc.org/news/seanc-urges-v…
