Union Leader: Republican red tape will take people’s healthcare away
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.

Is it ‘pro life’ to strip millions of their health care? This Pa. lawmaker says no
State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D-Philadelphia) called out supposed pro-life lawmakers for supporting Medicaid cuts that could potentially kill people.
Kenyatta spoke at a press conference outside of the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg on Monday, responding to remarks made by US Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who doubled down on a town hall statement that death is inevitable and to embrace Christianity.
