North Carolina reached its Medicaid expansion enrollment goal of 600,000 people just over a year since the program rolled out
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- More than 600,000 people have enrolled in North Carolina's new Medicaid coverage for low-income adults about a year after the program's expansion, reaching the state's enrollment goal for the program in about half the time that was originally projected, the governor's office announced on Monday.
Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, a vocal advocate for Medicaid expansion throughout his two terms in office, called the enrollment numbers a "monumental achievement."
