North Carolina Medicaid expansion makes nearly 600K now eligible for coverage

Hundreds of thousands of people in North Carolina are eligible for Medicaid benefits beginning Friday, almost a decade after ObamaCare let states expand eligibility. 

Advocates say North Carolina's expansion will give much-needed aid to adults who previously earned too much to be eligible for Medicaid but not enough to benefit from federal subsidies to help them afford private health insurance.  

Medicaid coverage includes doctor visits, check-ups, eme...

Biden campaign hits Trump on Medicaid as North Carolina implements expansion

The Biden campaign seized on the expansion of Medicaid coverage in North Carolina on Friday to blast former President Trump over his renewed vow to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, potentially threatening health care coverage for millions of Americans.

“Elections have consequences and today, because the people of North Carolina elected Governor Roy Cooper, 600,000 North Carolinians will be eligible for coverage under Medicaid,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez ...

Trump stresses he wants to replace ObamaCare, not ‘terminate’ it

Former President Trump emphasized late Tuesday night that he wants to replace the Affordable Care Act — more commonly known as "ObamaCare" — rather than eliminate it entirely.

“Getting much better Healthcare than Obamacare for the American people will be a priority of the Trump Administration. It is not a matter of cost, it is a matter of HEALTH," he wrote on Truth Social. "America will have one of the best Healthcare Plans anywhere in the world. Right now it has one of the W...

If they like their ObamaCare cash, let lower-income earners keep their ObamaCare cash

Despite President Joe Biden’s best efforts to convince the public that inflation has peaked, anyone who has shopped for groceries lately knows we’re not out of the woods.

And unfortunately, the pain is about to extend beyond the dairy aisle. 

Next year, Americans are projected to suffer the largest jump in health care costs in more than a decade. A recent Mercer study projects a 6.5 percent increase in the cost of health plans. Although a majorit...

Feehery: 5 ways Democrats can beat Trump 

It now looks inevitable that Donald Trump will be reelected to the White House, mostly because the Democrats have done a terrible job of running against him. 

I would prefer Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) over Trump because he is more conservative. But in a match-up against President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, California Gov. Gavin Newsom or just about any other Democrat, I would vote for Trump. 

Dysfunctional capitalists are better than fully functio...

Biden’s new plan threatens health coverage for more than half a million people 

On Friday, President Biden proposed new health insurance regulations. A good analogy for describing them would be that they are the health insurance equivalent of forcing automakers to rip the airbags and seat belts out of their new cars.  

Biden’s proposal would eliminate consumer protections, throw sick patients out of their health insurance, and leave them to face sky-high medical bills without insurance for up to one year. ...
