In 2023, North Carolina lawmakers approved an expansion to the Medicaid system, extending coverage to individuals earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level, which amounts to nearly $37,000 annually for a family of three. However, for the expansion to continue, the federal government must contribute at least 90% of the costs for expansion patients. If the federal contribution falls below 90%, those individuals would no longer be eligible for coverage.
