Health Care
Congressman Davis' top priority in Congress is expanding access to affordable health care because he knows it is vital to keeping rural hospitals open, making health care accessible to those who need it most, and improving treatment for victims of addiction.
Congressman Davis is leading the effort in the House to expand access to affordable care for North Carolinians. That's why a few of his first official acts in Congress included cosponsoring H.R. 31 COVER Now Act, which would help find a federal alternative to states who have yet to expand Medicaid and relaunching the State Medicaid Expansion Caucus (SMEC) to advance solutions to expand Medicaid for those trapped in their state's coverage gap.
Congressman Davis understands that residents across North Carolina's First Congressional District sometimes must choose between purchasing their lifesaving medication and putting food on the table. The hardworking people of eastern North Carolina make up more than 20 percent of the state, and he is doing what he can to keep them safe and healthy.
