Governor Roy Cooper's Medicaid expansion has been blocked temporarily blocked by a federal judge for two weeks. 

The ruling was in response to a complaint filed by Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger and House Speaker Tim Moore who argue that under state law, Governor Cooper cannot expand Medicaid under the federal Affordable Care Act. Cooper counters that legislative approval to expand Medicaid impinges on powers reserved for the Executive Branch.
