Sign as a Business Leader

As a North Carolina business leader, I endorse the following statement:

We, as North Carolina business leaders, understand that a strong economy and a thriving workforce require healthy families. Right now, too many hard-working families are uninsured. In fact, about two-thirds of all uninsured adults in North Carolina work. They are construction workers, farmers, child care providers, and even veterans. We urge the North Carolina General Assembly to achieve a bi-partisan solution to close the health insurance coverage gap. Now is the time to act. There are proposals on the table that would require no investment of state tax dollars and closing the gap would create an estimated 37,000 jobs and billions in economic activity. Much of this economic activity would benefit our rural communities and other areas most in need of an economic boost. Closing the health insurance coverage gap is a good deal for the health of North Carolina families and for our economy. We urge you to work together and achieve a policy solution that closes the health insurance coverage gap.

Care4Carolina’s Business Advisory Council – Closing the Gap Means Business

September 29, 2020 by Hailey Gutzmer Leave a Comment

Care4Carolina launched its’ Business Advisory Council on September 23, 2020 with business leaders from across the state sharing the message that closing NC’s health insurance gap is the top policy priority for NC’s economic recovery and for a strong business climate. 

“There is no other single policy solution that the legislature can enact that will bring this level of funding to our local economies, stabilize our healthcare system, and benefit our economy” notes Patrick Woodie, President of the NC Rural Center and Chair of the Business Advisory Council.  “There are over $7 billion federal dollars that will flow to NC when we close the health insurance gap. This will generate 37,000 new jobs, generate $7.4 billion in gross revenues and $106 million in county tax revenues just from 2020 to 2022.  How can we leave these funds sitting in Washington DC at a time when we need to bring in every penny we can to help North Carolinians get back on their feet, strengthen our local economies, and make NC competitive?”

The Council is communicating six economic benefits of finding a solution for NC’s uninsured:
