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.

Sign as a Faith Community

Faith Leaders Addendum

As a North Carolina faith leader/ community of faith, I/we endorse the following statement:

We, as people of faith in North Carolina, believe that the Lord brings good news to the poor, binds up the broken-hearted, and comforts all those who mourn. We believe that when we work to ease the burdens of our neighbors who are struggling the most, we are caring for God. And, we believe we are called to follow our God by doing good, not only in the halls of our congregations, but by seeking justice in the wider world.

That means we cannot stand silent when presented with the opportunity to provide healthcare coverage for hundreds of thousands of our brothers and sisters. We understand that a community cannot flourish while its people lack access to affordable, quality healthcare. Healthy families are the bedrock of our communities of faith and of our local economies. Uninsured North Carolinians include members of our congregations, pastors, child care providers, farmers, construction workers, small business owners, neighbors, and friends. We urge the North Carolina General Assembly to work together across bi-partisan lines to close the health insurance coverage gap for all of these children of God.

A in-person panel discussion at Meredith College About the State of Healthcare and Solutions in North Carolina hosted by Meredith College and the North Carolina Center for Health & Democracy.

“How Do We Fix Healthcare in North Carolina”
• When: Wednesday, April 26, 2023
• Where: Kresge Auditorium, Meredith College, Raleigh, North Carolina
• Time: 12:30 to 1:30 PM EST – Lunch will be provided
• Who: Wendell Potter, founder, North Carolina Center for Health and Democracy; Dr. David McLennan, Professor of Political Science; Director of the Meredith Poll
• RSVP to attend in-person or online: https://www.nchealthanddemocracy.org/how-do-we-fix-healthcare-in-north-carolina/

The panel discussion will feature the release of a new white paper from the North Carolina Center for Health & Democracy and detail Dr. McClennan’s findings from a Meredith Poll analyzing consumer sentiments around healthcare in North Carolina. Last fall, McClennan’s Meredith Poll found that just 8.3 percent of North Carolinians think health insurers have their best interests in mind.

Potter will detail insights from his white paper, which shows the rapid increase of health insurance profits and premiums while patients face claim denials and less access to care and potential solutions for patients, communities and policymakers.

Refreshments and lunch provided.
