NC Medicaid Expansion Coalition – Day of Action: #WheresThePlan

Organizational Home: NC Justice Center Coalition to Expand Medicaid

NC Medicaid Expansion Coalition – Day of Action: #WheresThePlan cover



Where’s the Plan? Day of Action overview
Organizations from across the state will partner on Thursday, July 16 for the “Where’s the Plan?” Day of Action to publicly pressure Governor McCrory to present his Medicaid proposal for North Carolina. Governor McCrory indicated that he would not make a proposal to close North Carolina’s Medicaid coverage gap until after the King v. Burwell Supreme Court decision which was handed down on June 25th.
 
The “Where’s the Plan?” Day of Action will send the Governor a clear message that the 500,000 hard-working North Carolinians in the coverage gap can wait no longer- he must act swiftly to propose a plan to state leaders that includes Medicaid expansion in order to promote economic growth and prevent additional unnecessary deaths.

The “Where’s the Plan?” Day of Action will include six press conferences across the state to demonstrate wide-spread public support and the local impact of this issue. The Day of Action will also encourage supporters to take action via social media and to contact the Governor’s office urging him to demonstrate leadership and show North Carolina citizens a clear plan that closes the coverage gap in our state.

Editorial in Greenville Daily Reflector, 7-18-2015:

Reflector

Editorial: ‘Where’s the plan?’

Demonstrations were staged in cities across North Carolina on Thursday, including Greenville, calling on Gov. Pat McCrory to produce a plan for accepting Medicaid expansion dollars. The governor should do just that.

The “Where’s the Plan” rallies were hosted by health care professionals, advocates and citizens who want McCrory to live up to statements he has made indicating he would announce a Medicaid proposal after the Supreme Court’s ruling on Obamacare subsidies.

…

The Affordable Care Act was designed to cover low-income or part time workers by expanding Medicaid benefits to workers earning up to the federal poverty line. That income level for a single person is a little less than $12,000. It goes up according to household member size.

In North Carolina and other states that have not accepted the Medicaid expansion, however, workers who fall into the earning gap must pay the full cost of health care policies they obviously cannot afford.

The flawed and inadequate ACA is nonetheless the law of the land and it is time for North Carolina lawmakers to oppose the law in ways that do not bring further harm and financial hardship to their own constituents, hospitals and other health care providers.
