  • North Carolina won't be the only state: Electors across the country will meet in their respective state capitals Tuesday to cast their votes, finalizing necessary formalities before congressional certification next year and the subsequent Jan. 20 inauguration.

The article from The Charlotte Observer discusses the ongoing debate over the expansion of Medicaid in North Carolina, which has been a contentious issue for years.

Key points include the potential coverage for up to 600,000 low-income adults, the financial implications for the state, and the political maneuvering around additional policy measures like certificate of need reforms and funding for mental health services.
