Healthcare
This year, North Carolina became one of the states to deny fully funded Medicaid expansion, which would provide many North Carolinians much needed healthcare. In her full time non-profit career at Tammy Lynn Center for Developmental Disabilities, Sarah sees firsthand the benefit that Medicaid provides to families who are caring for loved ones with disabilities. Denying fully funded Medicaid expansion leaves nearly 500,000 individuals and working families in North Carolina uninsured. In addition to leaving low-income individuals uninsured, denying Medicaid expansion will send our hard-earned tax dollars to other states and place additional burdens on hospitals and employers.
