ADVISORY: NC House Democrats to Host Press Call about HB 1040, Healthcare for Working North Carolinians

Raleigh –  As the legislature returns this week, House Democrats will host a Digital Press Call to feature the primary sponsors of  HB 1040, Healthcare for Working North Carolinians. Representatives James Gailliard (D-25), Sydney Batch (D-37), Scott Brewer (D-66) and Christy Clark (D-98) will speak about the importance of expanding Medicaid and answer questions about the legislation. 

Expanding Medicaid would help insure more than a half a million North Carolinians who need it most now amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Numerous reports have found that expanding Medicaid would not only benefit every county in North Carolina but reduce the chances of a rural hospital closing by 62 percent.
