Message from Pennsylvania Health Access Network (PHAN):
Last night, the House Budget Committee advanced its Budget Reconciliation bill that would terminate healthcare for over half a million Pennsylvanians who get their health coverage through Medicaid and the marketplace and double health insurance premiums for many more.
Next, the bill is scheduled for a vote in the Rules Committee on Wednesday night and a possible floor vote on Thursday.
Now is the time to take action. Please contact members of the House of Representatives this week and let them know that your organization opposes the bill. It is particularly important to contact Representatives Fitzpatrick, Bresnahan, and Mackenzie. Let us know how your conversation went by emailing Bill England.
This community-focused advocacy forum brings together experts and stakeholders to discuss the local impact of federal funding cuts to Medicaid, particularly on vulnerable populations and essential services.
The event will be moderated by Chip Minemyer, publisher of The Tribune-Democrat, and panelists will include RCPA Honorary Board Member Jim Cook, who serves as Executive Director of Cambria Residential Services.
The event will be held Monday, April 21, at 6:30 pm. You can view the flyer here for more details.
