2020 NC Governor's race: on Health Care


Dan Forest: Criticized governor's closure of restaurants for coronavirus

Forest's office released a statement titled "Lt. Governor Forest Questions Validity of Restaurant Ban" in which he said Cooper's order would doom the state's economic vitality. "His mandate will devastate our economy, shutter many small businesses and leave many people unemployed, especially in the rural areas of our state where food supply is already critical," Forest said in the release.

Dan Forest: Against Medicaid expansion under Affordable Care Act

I am for high-quality, affordable health care for all North Carolinians. Medicaid expansion does not fit the bill. The Affordable Care Act promised hardworking families more access, better care, and no tax increases to pay for it. These were broken promises. Now these same promises are being made by Governor Cooper regarding Medicaid expansion. Our people are smarter than this political rhetoric.

Holly Grange: Against Medicaid expansion, favors work requirements

I am against Roy Cooper's plan to expand Medicaid to all. I believe there are conservative solutions to the coverage gap including work requirements and having recipients pay a premium.
