Gov. McCrory was sworn in Jan. 5, following former Gov. Bev Perdue, a Democrat who supported the state-run exchange option and accepted a $74 million federal grant to set up the exchange. If North Carolina does not proceed with building its own exchange, it would need to return the money, according to a report by the News & Observer.
“In light of recent Medicaid audits, the current system in North Carolina is broken and not ready to expand without great risk to the taxpayers and to the delivery of existing services to those in need. We must first fix and reform the current system,” Gov. McCrory said.
His statement continued, “There has been a lack of preparation within state government during the past year to build necessary and reliable systems to implement a state exchange.”
