US EditionHawley warns GOP Medicaid cuts are ‘morally wrong and politically suicidal’
- Governor Josh Shapiro warned that proposed Medicaid cuts by Congress could cause severe health coverage losses and hospital closures in Pennsylvania.
- These cuts are part of a Republican bill package including nearly $800 billion in Medicaid reductions nationwide and over $5 trillion in tax breaks.
- Pennsylvania faces Medicaid funding challenges despite a $10.5 billion reserve and Shapiro's budget request for $2.5 billion more starting July 1 to cover rising costs.
- According to projections by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, cuts to Medicaid could result in more than 7.6 million people nationwide losing their health insurance, while Shapiro emphasized that states will not have funds to compensate for these federal reductions.
- If Medicaid funding is cut, Pennsylvania would struggle to replace lost federal aid, endangering rural hospitals and causing hundreds of thousands to lose lifesaving health care access.
