Over the past couple of days, Ms. Paliga has taught us the importance of Medicaid Expansion in North Carolina. Pat McCrory signed away the governor’s ability to expand Medicaid in 2013, so now the NC legislature has the control. However, there is reluctance in expanding. North Carolina Legislators don’t see the all-around win of expanding Medicaid. Not only does it increase coverage to more than 500,000 people in North Carolina. It funnels almost 1.2 billion dollars into the NC economy as it would decrease uncompensated care. From learning about Medicaid Expansion, we worked as a team to create several informative slides to post on Instagram about it.
