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.

Join Pennsylvania Health Access Network (PHAN) on May 22, 2023, at 1:00 pm for a community conversation about Medicaid waivers. Amy Lowenstein, Director of Policy, and Pamela Putnam Silver, Supervising Attorney from the Pennsylvania Health Law Project, will discuss:

  • The end of COVID-era policies in the CHC and OBRA waivers and what they mean for those applying or receiving waiver services;
  • What to expect from the waiver renewal process;
  • Addressing changes in income and resources that may impact eligibility;
  • Where to go for help; and
  • Any questions and concerns.
