Show Notes
North Carolina lawmakers grapple with hospital facility fees at affiliated clinics, with hospitals arguing they cover essential overhead costs and insurers countering they drive up overall medical claims. The fees, which are popping up more often for everyday visits, could save families at least $200 million a year if banned. Meanwhile, budget talks continue on Medicaid funding, with the health department seeking $319 million but facing pushback, and Governor Josh Stein urging $1.4 billion for critical needs.
