In this three-minute excerpt from his 2014 interview with Barry Yeoman, AIDS physician Charlie van der Horst explains the devastating impact of the North Carolina legislature’s refusal to expand Medicaid under President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act-including the unnecessary deaths of uninsured North Carolinians-and the moral basis for his own protest. Accompanying the interview are Jenny Warburg’s photos from the 2013 Moral Monday demonstrations.
