And it was only introduced after multitudes were left suffering due to a previous bill led by Republicans that made it illegal to expand Medicaid in NC under the Affordable Care Act.

..

"After years of fighting for high-quality health care for every person in our state, today’s launch of Medicaid expansion means more than 600,000 North Carolinians can now access the care they need to stay healthier, treat sickness earlier and have the peace of mind knowing health care is within their reach," said Governor Roy Cooper.

Lee's Democratic challenger is?

"When politicians started doing my job, I decided it was time for me to do theirs."
-Dr. David Hill

https://www.hillforncsenate.com/

Dr. David Hill, the Democratic candidate for the 7th district says his Republican opponent, Senator Michael Lee is spreading lies.
Hill’s attorneys have sent Lee a letter demanding that he cease and desist.
A political commercial airing almost daily leading up to election day is now the center of a legal battle.

Senator Michael Lee’s Democratic challenger David Hill filed a cease-and-desist order demanding a retraction and apology for campaign ads claiming Hill strongly supports “sex-change surgery” for children.
The cited source for the claim was a 2021 blog post, a post that contains no language supporting a claim regarding gender affirming surgeries.

Hill’s legal counsel said that the referenced article instead concerns surgical emergencies relating to intestinal blockages.

His lies are all over TV. His wife also lies in her TV advertising for him. She says he's pledged to keep abortion safe in North Carolina. Her husband voted against keeping it legal.

He and she will say anything to get him elected.

It's scary how they can just say whatever they want and don't mean a word of it.

All lies!!

Vote for Dr. David Hill. He's the Democratic candidate. Read this:

Ignore Lee. He's evil. So is his wife.
