North Carolina leads the nation in people who lost ACA coverage

[littlemissmartypants]

North Carolina leads the nation in people who lost their enrollment in Affordable Care Act plans. That's going to make health care more expensive for everybody, whether you have insurance or not.

In a new Billy Ball Explains NC Senior Newsletter Editor Billy Ball breaks down why Republicans in Congress could have stopped this, but did nothing.

Our stories are factual and focus on North Carolininans like you. We deliver our work to you on social media, on our website, and in newsletters delivered straight to your inbox.

The loss of local newspapers in North Carolina has left too many people without credible information about important issues. In the absence of strong reporting, misinformation spreads. We’re dedicated to stopping misinformation from taking over our state.

Throughout our pages here, in our newsletters, and on our social media accounts, you’ll find stories that lift up the shared experience of living in the South, along with the facts you need to make informed decisions for yourself and for your family. Good information should be available to all, regardless of how much money they have, so you will never see a paywall on Cardinal & Pine.

We believe fact-based, audience-centered journalism is key to informing North Carolinians—that’s why we share our values right here, up front, so that all readers can see why we do what we do.

North Carolina has a Democratic governor but a GOP legislature.

Some blue state legislatures are filling the gap so that their citizens do not lose health insurance.

Not North Carolina.

For example, I recently lost my job and have multiple health issues like ongoing maintenance treatments for lymphoma.
I am in remission.

I had to continue my COBRA until I can get on Medicare next year because ACA subsidies are 2 to 3 times higher than COBRA in state of North Carolina.
