Governor Roy Cooper and Secretary of Health and Human Services Mandy K. Cohen met with eastern North Carolina leaders today to discuss the need for Medicaid expansion to improve health outcomes and bolster economies in the region.

The opportunity to get access to health insurance through the federal marketplace has been extended.

Governor Roy Cooper today reminded North Carolinians who need health insurance or need to re-enroll or change plans for 2020 coverage to sign up before the December 15 deadline.

A new federal grant will help North Carolina partner with local justice systems — including local law enforcement, courts and others — to prevent opioid overdoses and connect people to treatment.

In reaction to the legislature adjourning without passing needed funds to continue Medicaid Managed Care implementation, spokesperson Megan Thorpe offered a comment.

Governor Roy Cooper today encouraged North Carolinians who do not have health insurance to enroll for 2020 coverage through the federal Health Insurance Marketplace at HealthCare.gov.

For the first time in five years the number of unintentional opioid-related overdose deaths among North Carolina residents has fallen.

EMS professionals told Governor Roy Cooper and Secretary Mandy Cohen that the state needs to use every resource at its disposal to fight the opioid epidemic and urged policymakers to save lives by expanding Medicaid.

It's been 38 days since the Governor shared a compromise offer on the state budget. That's it, that's the release.

Where is the Republican counteroffer and when will they start doing their job?
