Republicans have started talking about their plan to gut Medicaid, and that’s a huge problem for North Carolinians.
North Carolina has a trigger law to automatically end Medicaid expansion if federal funding is cut — meaning that 650,000 North Carolinians could lose access to health care if Republicans go through with their plan.
“Thom Tillis, Ted Budd, Greg Murphy, Virginia Foxx, Addison McDowell, David Rouzer, Mark Harris, Richard Hudson, Pat Harrigan, Chuck Edwards, Brad Knott and Tim Moore all voted for the Republican budget package that paved the way for Medicaid cuts, and they’re going to be the reason 650,000 North Carolinians lose their health care,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Monica Venzke. “As if raising costs on literally everything they need wasn’t enough, Republicans have decided to make sure Americans can’t afford health care, either. They ran on fixing the economy and helping people. They’ve done the opposite of both.”
