Let's see..reduce money going to families in need after their breadwinner is laid off, stop Medicaid expansion, mess with funding for college "Liberal Arts" programs, mess with the ACA for insurance...guess you needed some cost saving measures to justify the raises that you paid to your cabinet. Class warfare..or shall I say classless warfare..at its finest. Oh, and I actually voted for the man, so feel free to blame me. This is not who I thought I was voting for...

this things doesn't affect congress or gov. mcCrory.. they are good.. but what about the rest of us

Emergency room for basic care is terribly inefficient and costly , The bill is still huge and needs to be paid. The average ER bill is well over a thousand and every time I go, the overall out of pocket cost is more than that. 10,000 dollar bills are not uncommon. - Plenty"

And the reason you are using the ER instead of a doctor or urgent care is?

Plenty Coups: I will have to pay more all the way around. I am a state employee in another state who planned to retire to NC. The amount in box DD of my W-2 form is over $10,600; therefore, in 2018, I will be deemed to have a "cadillac health care plan" and my health care benefits will be reduced. There is no chance that my state is going to pay a 40% excise tax on those benefits. Forget about the fact that I have worked for over 30 years for less than my skills would be worth in the private sector just because the state promised me health insurance upon retirement. I also will pay a higher federal tax and state tax for the increased medicaid recipients, unless I opt to move to a state with no state tax and either spend the money that is generating my interest income or put it somewhere else. And most on medicaid have little to move, aren't worried about a job, and are very "in the know" regarding what states will expand medicaid.

Plenty Coups: "I believe that many who qualify for medicaid will move to a state that is taking the medicaid expansion. If Kentucky would take care of all of your medical needs free of charge and NC would not, wouldn't you move?"

Not if I was poor and couldn't afford a move or had no prospects of a job, or simply didn't know that a state offered it. As it is, I will have to pay more because of this short sighted partisan decision and you will likely too. Emergency room care is the most expensive and inefficient system out there!

"The Supreme Court did not uphold the part requiring states to expand Medicaid."

Who said that it did? I was responding to the poster who claims that the states should try to "get rid of Obamacare".

Plenty Coups: I believe that many who qualify for medicaid will move to a state that is taking the medicaid expansion. If Kentucky would take care of all of your medical needs free of charge and NC would not, wouldn't you move?

"Yoda, the death panels exist now and they are corporate bean counters at for-profit insurance companies.

My family's costs will go down after full implementation of ACA. Don't depend on Rush and Fox to do all your research for you."

goldenosprey - Unfortunately they would rather believe outrageous lies and jump on the polarization wagon then give it some serious research and find the facts.

"Umm, its the law of the land. Passed by Congress, signed by the President, and upheld by the supreme court."

The Supreme Court did not uphold the part requiring states to expand Medicaid.

"McCroy, Art Pope, I don't care just thank God the Perdue, Easley, Black circus has left town."

Unfortunately we will all see that Art Pope will be much more devastating to this state than any man or woman that came before.
