RALEIGH — Health officials warned they would have to start making those cuts, if lawmakers don’t pass funding for Medicaid by next week.
The Department of Health asked for $819 million but only $600 million has been supplied.
Stein, on Thursday, urged lawmakers to act, but the state Senate and House have dueling bills.
The sticking point is whether a Medicaid package should include funding for other health-related projects.
