Millersburg in Dauphin County is encouraging drivers to report potholes and other road hazards through a new program called Fill My Hole.
State Rep. Arvind Venkat (D-Allegheny) warned of dire consequences if Republicans in Congress pass President Donald Trump’s budget bill, which includes a $700 billion cut to Medicaid.
Venkat is the only emergency room physician to serve in the Pennsylvania General Assembly, and he shared a heartbreaking story about a patient foregoing cancer treatment because she didn’t want to go into medical debt.
Medicaid covers over 3 million Pennsylvanians and helps fund 34% of all births throughout the state. According to the Center for American Progress, over 340,000 Pennsylvanians could lose their health care coverage as a result of Trump’s budget.
