Are They Talking About Medicaid Expansion?

Sen. Jim Burgin is a leader in the General Assembly on health care and mental health policy.  The Harnett County Republican talks about his passion for the issue, especially mental health, as well as his friendship and partnership with NC Health & Human Services Secretary Kody Kinsley, a Democrat, in making the state healthier.  

A press gaggle this week at the General Assembly included news from Sen. Phil Berger about a possible December lame-duck session, the latest on Medicaid, and more.  

Skye and Brian also talk about an abortion ad cut by Governor Cooper for a Senate candidate that may be seen in other districts, a House Democratic leader is in a tough race, the General Assembly's top fundraisers, and Treasurer Dale Folwell floats his name for governor in 2024.
