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.

Coalition Releases Candidate’s Tool Kit on Closing Coverage Gap

September 28, 2020 by Hailey Gutzmer Leave a Comment

Coverage gap will be one of the deciding factors in upcoming election           

Today, Care4Carolina, a statewide coalition of 66 organizations committed to finding a solution for closing North Carolina’s health insurance coverage gap, released a “tool-kit” for all legislative and Council of State candidates. 

The coverage gap refers to people who make too much or otherwise don’t qualify for Medicaid, but make too little to receive a subsidy to buy insurance in the federal market place.

“We know that closing the coverage gap will be one of the deciding factors in this upcoming election, so we want to make sure all the candidates for elected office have the most current and accurate data on this important issue,” said Erica Palmer Smith, Director of Care4Carolina.

 According to a recent poll by Harper Polling, nearly two-thirds of North Carolina voters believe that closing the health insurance gap will be an important election issue and 75% of North Carolina voters support closing the coverage gap.

The tool kit contains state and local economic impact data on closing the gap, links to county specific information, a slide presentation on public support for closing the gap, fact sheets and a compilation of frequently asked questions about the issue.  Copies of the tool kit will be shared with the leadership of all parties who have candidates on the November ballot.

“Our hope is that by sharing this information with everyone running to serve our state, we can set the stage for productive and solution-focused action when the legislature reconvenes in January,” said Palmer Smith.

A copy of the tool kit is available at: https://care4carolina.com/resources/candidate-toolkit-2020/
