According to Sen. Phil Berger:

Berger said in a statement that “nothing has changed to address the multitude of concerns with Medicaid expansion. We cannot afford our current Medicaid system, much less an expanded one.”

Meanwhile Gov. Pat McCory says “we must build a North Carolina-based reform plan that focuses on healthier patients at a cost taxpayers can afford,” while DHHS Secretary Aldona Wos says she’s having “meaningful dialogue with federal health officials on what a North Carolina expansion of Medicaid would look like.”
