Governor Roy Cooper issued the following statment on Monday's challenge to the legislative block on Medicaid expansion:
"North Carolina will miss out on more jobs and better health care without Medicaid expansion and it's frustrating and disappointing that we're having to fight our own legislature in court to get it done. Tax dollars already paid by North Carolinians are funding Medicaid expansion in other states and we want to bring that money back home to work for us here."
