Gov. Josh Shapiro announced on Monday that the state will join a multi-state legal action against President Donald Trump “for trying to rip away Medicaid from Pennsylvanians who need it most.”

“Donald Trump, Dr. (Mehmet) Oz, and RFK Jr. are hellbent on trying to push aside people who rely on Medicaid to get the care they need,” said Shapiro. “But here in Pennsylvania, we’re going to keep standing up to protect our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians.”

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Oz, who leads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), have spearheaded efforts to rein in Medicaid spending under the direction of Trump.
