Keeping NC Medicaid Strong@NCMedStrong15 Sep 2025
NC saw the biggest drop in uninsured working-age adults in the U.S. last year. 📉 Why? Medicaid expansion. 🩺 More coverage = better health, stronger workforce. Let’s keep it going. wunc.org/race-class-communit… #KeepingNCMedicaidStrong #MedicaidExpansion

Fewer North Carolinians are uninsured as Medicaid expanded, U.S. Census figures show

Figures from the U.S. Census American Community Survey 1-year estimates show that North Carolina improved its health insurance and Medicaid coverage in 2024.

The new $50 billion rural health fund will be a significant injection of money for struggling health systems. But, it’s temporary and does not make up for the looming $137 billion in Medicaid cuts in rural areas.

Florida Decides Healthcare@FLdecidesHC16 Sep 2025
Floridians are already paying billions in federal taxes to fund Medicaid expansion in other states. But our leaders refuse to accept that money for our own people. It’s time to bring our tax dollars home. It’s time to close the gap.

With the big, bad budget's $1 trillion in cuts to health care, families need to be prepared for the worst. Whether you use Medicaid for health care, or get coverage from private insurance, millions of Americans could lose coverage or see their costs go up.

Doctors for America strongly condemns the legislative package, deceivingly titled the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which the U.S. Senate passed this afternoon. This bill is a setback to public health and will be harmful to patients nationwide. doctorsforamerica.org/sr-obb…

By the #4thofJuly, rushed cuts to Medicaid could threaten care for Floridians with disabilities. The #BigBeautifulBill would gut home care support, raise costs & risk lives. 🛑 84% of Americans say: #ProtectMedicaid. 📊 Know someone impacted? Share this post. #SaveMedicaid

We don't yet have a Congressional Budget Office score for the Senate's version of the budget reconciliation bill. But, if I had to guess, the Medicaid cuts will be larger than the $793 billion in the House bill.

The big budget bill is a huge tax giveaway to the wealthy, while allowing tax credits for working families to expire. Thanks to @SenOssoff for introducing an amendment today to extend health premium tax credits that help 20 million Americans afford their health insurance.

Today’s SCOTUS ruling in Medina v. Planned Parenthood will make it more difficult for people to access the health care that they need, allowing politicians and courts to insert themselves into personal health care decisions.

Lowering federal funding for Medicaid expansion for new enrollees would have big effects over time as people churn on and off the program as their circumstances change. Many states would likely repeal expansion, leaving millions more people uninsured.
