Compared on: Supports expanding public health coverage and using government action to reduce health-care costs.

THEN · DEC 2023

After years of fighting for high-quality health care for every person in our state, today’s launch of Medicaid expansion means more than 600,000 North Carolinians can now access the care they need to stay healthier, treat sickness earlier and have the peace of mind knowing health care is within their reach.

NOW · JAN 2026

As Governor, I fought to expand Medicaid for hundreds of thousands of working North Carolinians, helping to lower health care costs for everyone. While Michael Whatley cheers on Washington as they make things worse, I’ll be focused in the Senate on making life more affordable for North Carolinians.
