... Gov. Roy Cooper has a plan.
... to give hospitals extra Medicaid money if they sign on to a state plan that could forgive about $4 billion in medical debt for 2 million people in North Carolina.
“Unlike most other debts, medical debt is not a choice. It is often a
constant weight on many low to middle income people that ruins their
credit, keeps them from getting jobs, loans and credit cards, drives
them into bankruptcy and discourages them from getting preventive health
care they need. This first in the nation plan incentivizes hospitals to
forgive medical debt, making our families and communities healthier and
stronger.” - Governor Roy Cooper (8/9/2024)
✅ But with risk-based lending (RBL), the SECU Board and Executive Leadership Team doesn't seem to care about the real life problems of the North Carolinians they are supposed to serve. Don't care and with RBL are no longer willing to listen!
Self-serving, yes! Serving the membership, no!
"We Are SECU"! ... no way!
