Now under a new presidential administration, those previously uninsured and often uninsurable who have gained access to health care under the Affordable Care Act, have found themselves in a deep state of anxiety and uncertainty.

Abstract:
In citing Cardinal Innovations Healthcare as a major cause for the continuing issues involving health care in North Carolina, some experts believed it was a case of paying more attention to the symptoms rather than disease. For such experts, focusing on issues such as the company’s excessive salaries, employee bonuses and questionable spending took attention away from what mattered most: providing quality health care for all North Carolinians.

Abstract:
Governor Pat McCrory released his 344 page budget mid-March which denied expansion of Medicaid coverage to state residents. The expansion funded by the federal Affordable Care Act would have helped 500,000 citizens backed by $521 million in federal funding. To counter this the governor approved $755 million in state funds for Medicaid but health care experts believe this is just a stop-gap measure without addressing core problems in the Medicaid system.
