“Pennsylvanians got screwed in this.”
That's how Gov. Josh Shapiro put it when describing President Donald Trump's budget cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
According to the governor’s office, over 310,000 Pennsylvanians may lose Medicaid coverage, while 144,000 are at risk of losing access to food assistance through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
An additional 270,000 Pennsylvanians, who receive their health insurance through Pennie, the state’s official healthcare marketplace, could lose coverage because Trump’s budget bill does extend tax credits that were provided by the previous administration, according to the Republican Herald.
