North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services' Secretary Aldona Wos, M.D. released the following statement regarding House Bill 372:
"We commend the House for the overwhelming, bi-partisan passage of a Medicaid reform bill that is based on what works in North Carolina and aligns with the principles of Governor Pat McCrory's Healthy NC initiative. This is the year for North Carolina to move forward with historic reform. We look forward to working with both chambers to pass reform that creates a more predictable budget for taxpayers, reduces waste, and rewards health care providers for delivering quality, cost-effective care to patients."
