In this half-hour of health care, NCHN Editor-in-Chief Rose Hoban speaks with Casey Cooper, the CEO of Cherokee Indian Hospital; Chris Cooper, professor of political science at WCU; and NC state senator Kevin Corbin.
They discuss the long road to education and defense that led to the NC Senate approving the Medicaid expansion and what it may take to get the NC House there.
