FactVote uses the Census Bureau's HIC-4_ACS historical table. Rates and 90% confidence margins of error are the published ACS 1-year estimates for the civilian noninstitutionalized population. ACS annual estimates, all ages. Standard ACS 2020 one-year data were not released; the chart leaves a gap. Survey ranks describe point estimates and do not establish significant differences. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.

North Carolina Uninsured rate · all ages · source units
The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.
Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

All 50 states are listed, including states without a comparable observation. Ranks use stored source precision; displayed values may round to the same number.
Share of North Carolina’s civilian noninstitutionalized residents under age 65 who lacked comprehensive health-insurance coverage at the time of the ACS survey.
This source snapshot keeps its own definition and period. A rank shown elsewhere applies only to that comparison’s measure and period.
Method and limitations
U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts estimate.
This excludes people age 65 and older and is a annual survey estimate, not a current enrollment count.
Insurance status does not measure affordability, provider access, coverage adequacy, or care quality.
State spending is reported for 2020, the latest year available in this CMS state series. Choose a service to compare North Carolina with every state.

#1 is the highest value. Ties share a rank and leave gaps. D.C. and territories are excluded. Rank describes the measured value; it is not an overall score of the state.
Personal healthcare spending per resident
Personal health care expenditure per resident, assigned to the state where the patient resides.
2020 is the last year in this CMS state series. Personal health care excludes administration, public health, and investment included in national health expenditures. This is spending by all payers, not a household bill.

#1 is the highest value. Ties share a rank and leave gaps. D.C. and territories are excluded. Rank describes the measured value; it is not an overall score of the state.
Life expectancy at birth
FactVote uses CDC National Center for Health Statistics annual complete life-table estimates for the total North Carolina population. Values are rounded to the published tenth of a year.
The latest published comparable state series ends in 2022, even though newer national life-expectancy estimates may be available. Period life expectancy summarizes current mortality rates; it is not a forecast of how long a particular person will live. The 2020 and 2021 estimates reflect the mortality shock during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Any Mental Illness · adults 18+
Civilian noninstitutionalized adults age 18+, past-year prevalence or treatment use, estimated by small-area survey models.
Mental illness and depression estimates pool 2023–2024; treatment use covers 2024 only. Definitions and model-based uncertainty differ from the national page’s annual 2025 survey estimates. Point-estimate ranks do not establish significant differences. Serious mental illness is a subset of any mental illness, so their percentages must not be added.

Juvenile Justice Planning Committee extension
Aug 26, 2026 · Committee extension issued; conflicting end dates retained
Gov. Josh Stein · Issued
Reviewed executive order and referenced authority
Governor Josh Stein signed Executive Order 40 on August 26, 2026. Its recitals identify the Juvenile Justice Planning Committee as an adjunct advising the Governor’s Crime Commission and as North Carolina’s State Advisory Group for federal juvenile-justice and delinquency-prevention programs and funding. Section 1 extends earlier Order 312 to August 26, 2028. The complete prior chain is now reviewed. Cooper’s September 25, 2020 Order 167 established two-year member terms, a Governor-designated chair, at-least-quarterly meetings, majority quorum and an advisory role administering DOJ juvenile-justice and delinquency-prevention grants. His August 31, 2022 Order 269 replaced the membership section, increasing the permitted range from 15–25 to 15–33, retaining a non-government-employee majority including the chair, at least one-fifth younger than 28 when appointed, and at least three members with juvenile-system experience or qualifying parents/guardians when appropriate. Its 12 categories include public child/adolescent mental-health, substance-use, education and special-education services; nonprofit children’s education and services; alternatives to confinement; school-violence and suspension/expulsion alternatives; licensed mental-health/substance-use expertise; trauma and victim advocates; tribal expertise, sheriffs and community groups. These are representation and advisory requirements, not verified delivery of new services. Order 269 extended the framework through August 31, 2024. Cooper signed Order 312 on August 29, 2024, extending Order 269 through August 31, 2026; its archive first-published date is September 17, 2024 and its linked file is dated September 18. The original signed dates, archive publication dates and extension endpoints are distinct. Order 40 now continues this chain; education and health relevance comes from the preserved operative membership requirements rather than only its broad benefits recital. Section 2 makes this order effective immediately but says it remains effective until August 28, 2028 unless rescinded or superseded. Both the signed original and HTML contain this two-day difference; this review preserves both provisions without resolving it by assumption. The complete earlier Orders 312, 269 and 167 are reviewed, but federal requirements, later clarification, actual current appointments, grant decisions and services remain unverified. No employment program is established by the broad benefits recital. The preserved operative Order269membership includes child/adolescent mental health, substance-use and licensed treatment expertise and trauma advocates. This is component health representation in juvenile-justice planning, not a new clinical entitlement or verified treatment.
Signed 2026-08-26; published 2026-08-26. Committee extension issued; conflicting end dates retained. Referenced authority and selected agency records are reviewed; later legal operation and outcomes require separate review.

Gov. Josh Stein · Issued
Reviewed signed executive order
Governor Josh Stein signed Executive Order 39 on June 30, 2026. Sections 1–2 establish a Health Care Affordability Commission with seven voting members and at most 25 nonvoting members, all Governor-appointed at pleasure for renewable one-year terms. Voting members are the DHHS Secretary and State Treasurer as co-chairs, the OSBM Director, two state senators and two state representatives. Nonvoting North Carolina residents bring health-industry and cost-driver knowledge; membership should reflect geographic, professional and demographic diversity. Section 3 directs research and advice on transparency, data and records; competition and system capacity; provider shortages, especially primary care; primary-care access and use; value-based care; and rural affordability. The commission considers existing initiatives, including the Rural Health Transformation Program, and reports recommendations to the Governor. Its first report is required by January 21, 2027. Recommendations do not themselves lower premiums, expand insurance eligibility, set prices or enact competition law. Section 4 requires at least three whole-body meetings, with additional meetings at the Governor’s or co-chairs’ call, permits electronic meetings, applies the Open Meetings Act and requires a simple majority of voting members for quorum. Section 5 assigns Governor’s Office, Treasurer and DHHS staff, with unpaid members eligible for necessary travel/subsistence under state rules. Section 6 is effective immediately and states no fixed sunset; renewable one-year member terms are not a one-year termination of the commission. The HTML body header says May 27, 2026, but the signed header, witness clause and first-publication record say June 30. The HTML also omits the signed original’s recital about Medicaid and State Health Plan financial pressure. The signed instrument controls these details. Referenced SCRIPT Act provisions, underlying claims data, numerical spending/enrollment/debt-relief assertions, appointments and implementation remain unverified; those background figures are not added as measured facts. Health-care affordability, primary care, competition, rural access and workforce recommendations are explicit duties; implementation and outcomes remain unverified.

Gov. Josh Stein · Issued
Reviewed signed executive order
Governor Josh Stein signed Executive Order 38 on May 27, 2026. Section 1 requires each Cabinet Secretary to designate a Military Affairs Coordinator to communicate with Military and Veterans Affairs, report agency military engagements and programs, and understand effects on military communities in education, housing, entrepreneurship, technology, energy, health care, consumer protection, infrastructure and transportation. Section 2 requires Military and Veterans Affairs to convene coordinators at least quarterly to recommend strategies, coordinate services and identify quality-of-life opportunities for servicemembers and families. Council of State agencies are invited to designate coordinators and participate. Section 3 requires Cabinet agencies to cooperate with installations, consider readiness and community effects in planning, and, as appropriate, notify affected military commanders and local governing bodies of potentially relevant development, environmental and resiliency projects. Agencies collaborate with grant/permit applicants to avoid readiness harms and incompatible land uses and coordinate with the congressional delegation and federal agencies where appropriate. Section 4 requires Cabinet agencies to work with Military and Veterans Affairs, the Military Affairs Commission, Commerce and interested stakeholders to develop and release an updated Military Economic Impact on North Carolina report, without a fixed publication deadline. Section 5 is effective immediately until repealed, replaced or rescinded and supersedes earlier orders on the same subject, including the November 22, 2013 Order 34. It does not rescind the unrelated March 10, 2026 public-education Order 34. Historical military, employment, procurement and GDP figures in recitals were not independently audited. Actual coordinators, services, grants and the updated report remain unverified. Health-care programs are explicitly included in agency coordination for military families; new clinical benefits and delivered services remain unverified.
Signed 2026-05-27; published 2026-05-27. Cabinet coordination and economic-impact reporting directed. Historical issuance is verified; current operation and outcomes require separate review.

Governor Josh Stein signed Executive Order 38 on May 27, 2026.

Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified North Carolina officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Oct 6, 2026.

This section matches specific health coverage, healthcare costs, access to care and public health terms in retained, attributed source text from published North Carolina candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.
Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

Only current North Carolina officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.
Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a North Carolina statistic. Collection reviewed Oct 6, 2026.
Sources & methods
Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.
#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.
North Carolina snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to North Carolina, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.
