Our Healthcare System is Broken
North Carolina’s Healthcare Providers are Under Attack.
Healthcare providers work tirelessly to care for patients, but the system is stacked against them. Insurance companies delay, deny, and obscure coverage. Slashed Medicaid funding drains vital resources. Red tape eats up time and resources that should go to patients. The stakes couldn’t be higher – when providers are held back, patients pay the price.

More than statistics, these numbers reflect communities underserved, healthcare providers under siege, and North Carolinians suffering as they wait for essential treatment.
WHY IS THE SYSTEM FAILING?
Insurance companies.
Denials, delays, opaque coverage decisions, narrow networks, and rising premiums make costs soar and access dwindle. They rig the system for their profits while blaming everyone else.
Medicaid funding cuts.
Slashed funds threaten hospitals and providers’ ability to operate and provide essential services, especially for rural communities. Hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians face the possibility of losing insurance coverage.
Red tape.
Insurance claims, complex billing processes, and endless paperwork divert resources from patient care.
Financial attacks on healthcare providers.
Reforms on certificate of need laws, facility fees restrictions, and site-neutral payment policies would undermine hospitals and providers’ ability to maintain operations and manage costs, jeopardizing care for all North Carolinians.
