North Carolina is on track to become the 40th state to expand Medicaid, potentially providing state-funded healthcare to over 600,000 more people. The North Carolina General Assembly has debated the validity of a Medicaid expansion bill since 2019. On March 2, House Speaker Tim Moore and Senate Leader Phil Berger announced that an agreement between the Assembly’s two chambers was finally reached.

The bill, which expands Medicaid to all adults with incomes below 138% of the federal poverty level, now heads to the House for a concurrence vote where it is likely to pass.
