North Carolina Still Not Part of Medicaid Expansion

The Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) Medicaid expansion expanded Medicaid coverage to nearly all adults with incomes up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level. It also provided states with an enhanced federal matching rate (FMAP) for their expansion populations. Still, Medicaid expansion remains a hot topic across the country.

To date, thirty-nine states (including DC) have adopted the Medicaid expansion.

North Carolina has still not signed on.
