The bill is expected to head to the House floor for a pair of required votes Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Public Health Emergency, in exchange for additional federal funds, states agreed not to dis-enroll medicaid patients.&nbsp;&nbsp;That means that when the Public Health Emergency for Covid ends on May 11th, 5-8 million people nationally will lose health coverage through Medicaid.&nbsp;&nbsp;It means in North Carolina, where our state legislature has not chosen to expand medicaid, North Carolina Health &amp; Human Services expects that 37,000 North Carolinians will lose health coverage through medicaid.&nbsp; &nbsp;What can you do?&nbsp;&nbsp;You can educate yourself on and advocate for medicaid expansion.&nbsp;&nbsp;Medicaid expansion, if accepted by the state of North Carolina, would mean that 90% of the cost would be paid for by the federal government.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Learn more at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.care4carolina.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"
