Just being below the poverty threshold does not qualify you for Medicaid in North Carolina. There are a very limited number of circumstances that allow someone to get Medicaid in this state. Being below the poverty threshold is NOT one of those circumstances. And North Carolina opted out of the expanded Medicaid. I don't know where you are getting your information, but it has been discussed numerous times about how states are allowed to opt out of the Medicaid expansion.
