RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) While other Southern states already have drawn the line on the federal health care overhaul, North Carolina doesn’t seem quite settled on whether to commit to insuring hundreds of thousands more people starting in 2014.
President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act was largely upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in June, but the justices ruled that states can’t be penalized if they refuse to expand their Medicaid eligibility requirements to cover more uninsured adults, as the law directs.
