Thank you for your interest in Close the Gap Advocacy Day, an annual event hosted by a coalition of non-profits focused on expanding access to healthcare for all North Carolinians. You can read about last year's event here-- https://www.northcarolinahealthnews.org/2017/04/05/advocates-medicaid-expansion-continue-uphill-climb/

This year's legislative session is expected to be one of the shortest on record, and June 26th will be very hectic as the legislature plans to leave town by the end of June. Given that it's very unlikely that the General Assembly will close the gap and expand Medicaid this year, we MUST continue the drumbeat and speak out on the positive impact that expansion would have.
