Heads up fellow North Carolinians. 😳 Kansas just announced a bipartisan way forward on Medicaid expansion (they also have a Dem Governor and GOP majority legislature). We can do this here in NC!! We need to do this here in NC!! #letsdothis #medicaidexpansion

It can be hard to keep up with each new #COVID19 development. It feels like we have more questions than answers. I’m inspired by researchers everywhere who are searching for those answers, including my RAND colleagues Courtney Gidengil and Jennifer Huang Bouey.

Proud to work for this innovative, provider-first payer. We recognize the essential care our independent PCPs provide people of NC and the devastating impact COVID has had on revenues. Amazing amount of effort and leadership to get this launched amidst all the chaos. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
