People facing cancer and other serious illnesses should be able to focus on their health without added barriers to keeping their coverage.

A federal judge has blocked a Medicaid restriction that would have required people who qualify as medically frail to also prove their condition prevented them from meeting work requirements. The restriction threatened coverage for an estimated 64,000 North Carolinians with serious illnesses.

NCAH engaged on this issue and submitted comments. We welcome this ruling protecting access to care and thank Attorney General Jeff Jackson for defending these protections.

Our work to protect Medicaid coverage continues.
