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.
