North Carolina Democrats are voicing their concerns about healthcare well in advance of the upcoming general election.
President Biden is set to deliver a speech at Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston.
Friday marked the 14th anniversary of the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, a significant milestone that Democrats leveraged to encourage voters to support the re-election of President Joe Biden later this year.
Former President Donald Trump has previously stated his intention to repeal the ACA if re-elected.
Former U.S. Representative G.K. Butterfield emphasized the criticality of not allowing Donald Trump to win the election in North Carolina. He highlighted the potential consequences that millions of North Carolinians would face, including the loss of health insurance. Moreover, he expressed concern for over 4.2 million individuals with pre-existing conditions such as cancer and diabetes, who could be at risk of losing access to essential healthcare services.
In 2023, North Carolina took a significant step by expanding Medicaid to approximately 600,000 individuals as part of the ACA. However, Democrats recently warned voters that these crucial changes might potentially be reversed.
