Passing North Carolina’s budget will remain the last hurdle for the state to expand Medicaid to cover 600,000 low-income adults now that an effort to link expansion to authorizing more casinos is off the table.
North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, speaks to reporters while Senate leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, listens at the Legislative Building in Raleigh, N.C., on Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2023. Moore and Berger announced that Republican legislative leaders were ditching efforts this year to dramatically multiply legal gambling in the state and that instead, they would pass a final budget that also will trigger Medicaid coverage to begin for hundreds of thousands of adults.
