NC Health News Publishes 2026 Congressional Candidate Health Care Guide
North Carolina Health News released a voter guide compiling candidate positions on health care issues, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, drug and health care prices, vaccines, AI and PFAS, for North Carolina's 2026 U.S. Senate and House races. The outlet surveyed candidates starting in September and supplemented non-responses with independent research from campaign materials, social media, interviews and public appearances. The guide organizes candidate profiles by race, including the statewide Senate contest and individual House districts, with links to each candidate's stated positions. It does not report a specific policy action but serves as a voter reference tool ahead of the election.
Why it mattersMedicaid stakeholders in North Carolina can use the guide to gauge how the state's next congressional delegation may approach federal Medicaid financing and oversight decisions.
