Jul 15, 2024, 06:23 PM

North Carolina has seen significant success with its Medicaid expansion, enrolling over 500,000 residents in quality, affordable healthcare within seven months. Representative Don Davis, who has been a strong advocate for Medicaid expansion both in the state senate and Congress, emphasizes his commitment to ensuring families in eastern North Carolina have access to healthcare. As co-chair of the State Medicaid Expansion Caucus, Davis continues to push for a healthier community. Representative Kathy Manning also celebrates the achievement, highlighting the impact on thousands of families in her district, NC06. The success in North Carolina contrasts sharply with neighboring Georgia, where only 4,300 residents have enrolled in a partial Medicaid expansion with a work requirement. North Carolina is finally closing the coverage gap, helping hardworking families afford the healthcare they need.
