ADVISORY: NC House Democrats to Host Press Call about HB 1040, Healthcare for Working North Carolinians

As the legislature returns this week, House Democrats will host a Digital Press Call to feature the primary sponsors of HB 1040, Healthcare for Working North Carolinians. Representatives James Gailliard (D-25), Sydney Batch (D-37), Scott Brewer (D-66) and Christy Clark (D-98) will speak about the importance of expanding Medicaid and answer questions about the legislation.

Expanding Medicaid would help insure more than a half a million North Carolinians. Numerous reports have found that expanding Medicaid would not only benefit every county in North Carolina but reduce the chances of a rural hospital closing by 62 percent.


The Call will be held on Wednesday, April 29, 2020 at 1:30 PM.

To request media credentials for the event, please fill out THIS FORM by noon on Wednesday, April 29.
