In North Carolina, the cost of inmates' hospital care is increasingly falling on the shoulders of county taxpayers, as mandated by a 2013 state law. Wake County officials say this is another example of the legislature shifting the burden of services to local governments.

Abstract:
\"In June, policy analysts at the RAND Corporation determined that the 14 states that turned down Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act were making a giant mistake. The 14, RAND said, would lose $8.4 billion a year in federal funds while denying 3.6 million of their residents--the working poor--a chance to obtain affordable health insurance.\" The KAISER Corporation estimated that accepting the money would create 37,000 new health care jobs in NC. However, Governor Pat McCrory turned down the money. Among those who advised it was Dr. Aldona Woos, Secretary of NCDHW. The state's taxpayers will now be saddled with the payment of the lost billions. Meanwhile, WRAL-TV in Raleigh reported that Woos had handed out $1.7 million in pay raises to 280 staffers, many with \"no career of educational experience for the jobs they hold.\"

Abstract:
Over the course of a year, almost two million North Carolinians find themselves at risk of being unable to afford health care they need. The uninsured are disproportionately young, single, female and black. The state’s major response has been to participate in the federal Medicaid program, in which governments help underwrite medical care for the very poorest citizens.

Abstract:
State legislators met last year for both a regular session and a special budget session on the impact of federal budget cuts. Nursing homes, midwives, nurses, and septic tanks were among the many subjects that received legislative attention. Much of the significant new health legislation addresses occupational licensure, malpractice liability, regulation of hospital rates, and abortion.
