ER Doctor: Marijuana Prohibition Doesn’t Work

State Rep. Joe Hohenstein (D-Philadelphia) served as an immigration attorney before his election to the Pennsylvania House, and he had a dire warning for union members while speaking about Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) raids happening across the country.

Hohenstein says that President Donald Trump’s administration is coming after the working class and the American way of life.

On Monday, labor unions across Pennsylvania called for an end to the ICE raids sweeping across the commonwealth and the country after federal agents arrested SEIU California President David Huerta last Friday. Huerta was charged with conspiracy to impede an officer during an ICE raid, which could carry a jail sentence of up to six years in prison.

Matthew Yarnell, President of SEIU Healthcare PA, warned that Medicaid reforms in the US House Republicans’ budget bill may cost millions of Americans their health care coverage.

Republicans passed a budget earlier this month that cuts Medicaid by $700 billion and could force over 7 million Americans off the program.

Under the bill, Medicaid recipients would have to prove that they are working at least 80 hours a month and renew their coverage every six months.

Medicaid covers over 3 million Pennsylvanians and 34% of all births throughout the commonwealth. According to the Center for American Progress, 340,000 Pennsylvanians could lose their coverage if the US Senate approves this budget.
