Ken Spaulding on Health Care |
Healthcare should be available to all North Carolinians without anyone being driven into bankruptcy. The Affordable Care Act has opened the door for more North Carolina citizens in need to have access to decent and affordable healthcare.
However, in North Carolina, the coverage for approximately 500,000 North Carolinians under this federal legislation has been denied. The legislature and the Governor have had the option of extending coverage to the middle class, the working poor and the unemployed poor through Medicaid expansion. The Governor and his legislative majority have denied this coverage by enacting a state law of denial. As Governor, I will support Medicaid expansion for our citizens and for the financial survival of our hospitals.
