"I’ve got lots of tests and other stuff coming up that I can’t have done. I’m having to pick and choose what tests and procedures that I can do," Franklin, 41, of Forest City, said after speaking to a Berger staffer."We need this Medicaid expansion enacted in North Carolina, and we need it now." Cooper said last week he didn't know whether he would veto the budget. Republicans hold narrow veto-proof majorities in both chambers, and Moore and Berger said they anticipated all Republicans and even some Democrats to vote for the plan.
The program giving taxpayer-funded scholarships to children in low- and middle-income families to attend private schools would now be available to all families with K-12 students.Rank-and-file state employees would get a 4% raise this year and a 3% raise next year, while average teacher salaries would grow by at least 7% over two years. The plan also sets aside $2 billion for 200 water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
By late Tuesday, Moore and Berger set aside gambling for another day and said the original Medicaid trigger would remain in place.A budget was supposed to be in place by July 1, but negotiations continued throughout the summer. The holdup meant that an Oct. 1 target date by state Health and Human Services Secretary Kody Kinsley to begin offering Medicaid was delayed to at least December.
