On Monday March 27th, Governor Roy Cooper signed into law a bill (H.B. 76) that will provide health coverage for about 600,000 North Carolinians in the health coverage gap who have incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid but too low to receive health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act marketplace. Medicaid expansion will begin in North Carolina after the federal government approves North Carolina’s Medicaid expansion plan and a state budget for FY 2023-24 is in place
