NC Medicaid Crisis: Governor Calls for Special Session

North Carolinas Medicaid system faces a critical funding gap, with over three million residents relying on it for healthcare. Governor Josh Stein calls for a special session to address the issue, as the General Assembly has failed to act, leading to a five percent cut in reimbursement rates for healthcare providers. The ongoing budget impasse between the House and Senate, over funding for a new childrens hospital, has prevented a resolution. If the funding gap is not addressed, healthcare providers may stop accepting Medicaid, making it unsustainable for the states healthcare system. DNN | The Daily News Now!
