Doug wants Medicaid for 500,000 poor people in NC, most of them work for Minimum Wage, and 100,000 lost their job and are over 50 years old. Medicaid Expansion would create 23,000 jobs in North Carolina.
Very short sighted decision in North Carolina : People will have to pay higher insurance premiums because of the wrong decision of Governor and General Assembly. Crowded Emergency Rooms and Hospitals in strait financial conditions because having to cover uninsured people in grave conditions.
From Wikipedia :
AARP is a United States-based non-governmental organization and interest group, founded in 1958 by Ethel Percy Andrus, PhD, a retired educator from California, and based in Washington, D.C. According to its mission statement, it is "a nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization for people age 50 and over ... dedicated to enhancing quality of life for all as we age," which "provides a wide range of unique benefits, special products, and services for our members."
AARP operates as a non-profit advocate for its members and as one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the United States. AARP has two affiliated organizations: AARP Services Inc. which is managed wholly for profit, and the AARP Foundation, a charity that operates on a non-profit basis.
