North Carolina has accepted the Medicaid expansion provided by the affordable care act.
North Carolina has expanded access to MEdicaid but it only takes affect once the State Budget is passed. Budget has passed the NC House and is in the Senate.
Anticipated enactment is in June.
Until then it is unclear both how and when the expansion will rollout across the state but the expansion is expected to cover an additional 600,000 citizens particularly in rural areas.
Below are the links to H76 the expansion bill and H259 the budget. H76 will explain what's happening and H259 will fund it.Web References https://johnnywunder.info/mywiki/index.php/North Carolina Medicaid Expansion
